After looking a bit closer into this, I think what happens is - Ceton tunes to the "problematic" channel but does not output any video.<br>Here is part from the Ceton log after tuning to the HD channel 617 (which is in the channel map but I am not subscribed to it):<br><br>...<br>Jan 1 00:06:38 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Attempting to SetChannel (Channel=617 SourceId=0 Mode=0)<br>Jan 1 00:06:38 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Program number set to 0, was 0<br>Jan 1 00:06:38 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Tune to 617 (mod=q256, freq=387000, program=729, std=9)<br>Jan 1 00:06:38 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Program number set to 729, was 0<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Locked: 1 Acc E: 0<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Tune finished to freq 387000<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Getting pmt for program 729<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Got pmt for program# 729<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c7a<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c84<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: upnp: Event(tuner[0]): PCRLock, "1"<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x0000<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c7b<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c82<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c83<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c7c<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Adding pid 0x1c7e<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Channel is scrambled, expecting CCI<br>Jan 1 00:06:39 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Sending ca_pmt to CableCARD for program number 729 index 0<br>Jan 1 00:06:40 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] CCI 00 arrived for program# 729<br>Jan 1 00:07:27 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Locked: 1 Acc E: 0<br>Jan 1 00:07:27 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Tune finished to freq 0<br>Jan 1 00:07:27 ocur[21]: ocur: [0] Carrier lock is 0<br>Jan 1 00:07:27 ocur[21]: upnp: Event(tuner[0]): PCRLock, "0"<br>...<br><br>What happens next is (I belive) - Ceton does not output any MPEG2 stream.<br>If I try:<br><br>d@walnut ~ $ cat /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 | mplayer -cache 8192 -<br>MPlayer 1.1-4.5.4 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team<br>Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory<br>Can't init input joystick<br>mplayer: could not connect to socket<br>mplayer: No such file or directory<br>Failed to open LIRC support.

Hi,<br><br>I am a first time user of MythTV and I am trying to setup MythTV 0.26 with Ceton InfiniTV 4 card.<br>So far everything seems to work Ok, except for channels I am not subscribed to.<br><br>At the moment I am running both the backend and the frontend from a terminal consoles so I can see the outputs.<br><br>When I watch live TV and if I switch to one of those channels, the frontend displays the channel name and a black background. Then it becomes unresponsive - trying to change channel or exit from live TV - nothing works.<br>Only killing the frontend helps.<br><br>When the above happens, in the terminal where I started the frontend from, I can see it keeps printing the following:<br>...<br>2012-12-04 06:43:52.775102 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 0 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:43:56.616141 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 12696 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:44:04.549194 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 11320 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:44:05.838120 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 0 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:44:07.975161 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 0 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:44:16.546169 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 0 < 32768<br>2012-12-04 06:44:28.558207 I RingBuf(/mnt/var/mythtv/storage/default/1617_20121204114349.mpg): Waited 0.2 seconds for data <br> to become available... 11344 < 32768<br><br>In the backend terminal console nothing unusual is printed.<br><br>When I look at the channel map
(http://192.168.200.1/view_channel_map.cgi?page=0), the Ceton card lists all channels available with my provider, including the
ones I am not subscribed for.<br><br>How can I fix/troubleshoot this?<br><br>One way would be to go through the channels and manually mark the ones I am not subscribed to ... however this does not seem as a good long term solution as it will require manually keeping in sync with whatever channel changes the provider makes.<br><br>Any help is very much appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>D<br><br> </div>
