Pardon my english, I have to type this rather quickly....

I added a debug message ("DVBChannel:SetPMT slot called") in the SetPMT 
slot, thus this debug message should appear immediately after a 
"Multiplex Locked" is printed (at least hopefully within that 3000 
loop), but it doesn't when it failed (See log below)..

The only place where SetPMT is called is when a NewPMT signal is emitted 
in SIParser::CheckTrackers(). Somehow the Table var is not built 
properly (or maybe its built from corrupted DVB data?), and when that 
happens, SetPMT will not be called, and there's a function inside SetPMT 
(ChannelChanged) which isn't called, and so the tuning will fail... At 
least that's what I think its happening, pple with DVB knowledge got any 
ideas what's happening here?

In the meantime, I have turned on SIPARSER and thus have to wait for 
perhaps a few more hours for another failed recording to find out how 
SIParser works.....
