Sorry to give this one a bump. I was just wondering if anyone had any
ideas how I can get to the bottom of this. Last time I tried to watch
LiveTV the problem was even worse with it now being unable to lock
onto a signal for any of my stations. Should I turn on all logging on
mythbackend, perhaps, to see if that provides any clues?
