[mythtv] DVB tuning problems - Can someone point me in the ri ght direction ?

[Buechler, Mark R]

Ok, maybe we're getting somewhere here. Between source and destination
satellites it will see satellites with transponders on the same frequency
I'm tuned to. In that case it sees a PAT, but of course an invalid one.
After waiting 400ms and still not getting a valid PAT, siparser doesn't give
up, correct?

- Mark.

The SIParser isn't started until a proper PAT is seen. Run the backend
with '-v channel,record,siparser' to see all the relevant messages for
tuning.

Stuart Auchterlonie has recently been making some changes so that the
invalid PAT message is printed once and only once. It is however printed
400 ms after it is first seen to suppress some spurious error messages
when using broken DVB drivers (or a Linux kernel before 2.6.12).
