[mythtv-users] Error: offset>181

[Peter Bienstman]

Hi,

More often than not, I fail to get a lock using mythtv. However, when I
start caffeine afterwards and tune to that channel, I get a lock without
problems. Subsequently starting mythtv again allows me to tune to that
channel, as well as switch to different channels, so I assume mythtv does
not correctly initialize my tuner.  The error in the log says: 'Error:
offset>181, pes length & current cannot be queried'.

I run mythbuntu 14.04.1 and have a DVBSky S950C PCIe. I tried disabling EIT
collection, but that did not help.

 More details:
