Comment (by torbjorn.jansson@…):

 I've found the problem.
 the issue was with the url itself, was a case of double encoding the ()
 characters in the url and this confused the script i'm using so it was
 never able to download the channel list from the dvb box.

 if you put an url with % chars in already as videodevice, mythtv will
 encode it a second time with % chars and then you run into problems.

 one thing I did run into is that the videodevice field in the capturecard
 table is a bit short sometimes.

 sorry for the noise
