I haven't double checked with the latest code, but you should find that the screen is then not like a DVB-T screen (I'll check tonight though)

Ed,

The channel settings->Digital DVB->Satellite->TV-DVB->Add Channel screen 
is correctly identified as "DVB-s".
I add a channel "Test", back out of channel settings.
The channel_dvb now contains:

mysql> select * from channel_dvb where chanid=3;
+--------+-----------+-------+-------+--------+-------+-------+------+------+-------------+------+-------+-----------+-----------+--------------+--------------+------------+-------------------+----------------+-----------+---------+------------+---------+-----------+-------------+
| chanid | listingid | vpids | apids | adpids | tpids | ppids | freq | 
pol  | symbol_rate | tone | satid | inversion | bandwidth | hp_code_rate

1_2          |            | QAM_64     |                   | 
1_32           |           |       0 |          0 |       0 |         0 
|           0 |
+--------+-----------+-------+-------+--------+-------+-------+------+------+-------------+------+-------+-----------+-----------+--------------+--------------+------------+-------------------+----------------+-----------+---------+------------+---------+-----------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 
Then Channel Settings->All Channels->Test->tune.
This screen provides fields for:
Freq, Sat, Pol, S/R, tone, Pids-video, Pids-audio
    The Pol: dropdown has only null and H as selections.
    There are no screen fields for inversion, hp_code_rate, modulation 
and they are defaulted to null, null and QAM_64, rather than auto, auto 
and QPSK.
I make the changes to the fields and hit Accept and am returned to the 
prior screen. The Save changes button in this screen is grayed out.
I exit mythchannels and see that no changes have been made to the database.

This is the release in channels.10.tar.gz from 
www.elserrat.com/MythTV/MythChannels.
Am I using current code?

If this is the latest code and what I'm doing should work, I'll poke 
around and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Steve
