[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #2965: ATSC QAM256 channels fail to tune (partial lock) that are working channels with xine and vlc

[Wylie Swanson]

Some additional clarity -- it was late last night.

Channel scanning is working better with my provider, as a result of a recent
patch, however...
Channel viewing is obstructed because working channels never make it past
Partial Lock (perhaps is related to PMT) -- and so this effects NBC, PBS, et
cet, making them unviewable using MythTV (but not other applications).
