[mythtv] Tuning problems with V3.1 DVB patch

[David J. Fiddes]

Hi,

I've been trying to get the new 3.1 DVB patch running...but without much
success. My existing configuration of mplayer and xine works fine and
dvbscan was able to generate accurate channel lists so I'm reasonably
confident the hardware and drivers work OK.

When I launch the patched mythtv to scan for channels I give it the
details for my local transmitter for one of its multiplexes (I've tried
them all). The scan then starts OK, the DVB locks and network
information appears. Then it starts to try to tune into the multiplexes
it has detected....and fails to get locked on to any of them.

Had a dig through the contents of the dtv_multiplex table. It seems to
be filled with the frequencies used by another transmitter (according to
www.dtg.org.uk) on the other side of the country (Scotland) which I
can't get a strong signal from. Looks like my local transmitter is a
repeater of the network run from the other transmitter.

Is it possible to fix this? If so, how can I help? Is there enough
information in the network definition that the multiplex sends out for
it to know where it should be tuning?

I've attached the console log below. The UI just seems to stop
displaying 20% complete and there is no further output on the console.
The "Black Hill" in the network name is the name of the transmitter I
can't recieve from.

thanks,
Dave
