 This may be loosely related to my original ticket #9284, but in that case
 I was not able to watch any channels. Now all SD & radio channels work
 just fine, this only appears to happen when I try to watch an HD channel
 (channel number 7xx on my provider) in liveTV mode.

 I have attached two backend logs with -v record,channel. One was created
 Trying to watch a show on channel 700 live, the other simply recording the
 same show on the same channel, then watching it in the "recorded programs"
 as it records, but without using the "live TV" mode. The exact steps to
 create these logs are below:

 mythbackend-live.log

 1. Startup the backend with -v record,channel. Backend tunes STB to
 channel 3 (an SD channel) at startup
 2. Startup the fontend and select "Watch Live TV".
 3. LiveTV starts fine on channel 3.
 4. Enter channel "700"
 5. I see the digits "7" "0" "0" are sent to the STB on its LED display,
 the STB switches channels
 6. I see the OSD showing program info and "Signal 100% TLAM LOCK" appear
 on the screen for channel 700
 7. Without me doing anything, about 2 seconds later I see the digits "0"
 "0" "3" are sent to the STB on its LED display.
 8. The STB changes channels
 9. The screen goes black for about 3 seconds, then the frontend returns to
 the menu with the error "Error Opening Jump Program File Buffer"
 10. Exit the frontend
 11. Exit the backend

 mythbackend-rec.log

 1. Startup the backend with -v record,channel
 2. From the program guide, select channel 700 and tell mythtv to "record
 this showing"
 3. I see the digits "7" "0" "0" are sent to the STB on its LED display,
 the STB switches channels. The recording begins.
 4. Go to "recorded programs" and select the recording in progress, watched
 it for about 10 seconds to ensure it was recording properly.
 5. Exit the playback. Cancel & Delete the recording.
 6. Exit the frontend
 7. Exit the backend

 The patch I applied to add in the model/ID's of my STB is attached as well
 as the relevant version numbers.
