A year ago, I switched from DVB-C to DVB-S. I was able to scan for
channels, but then I could not watch any channel, because I got no lock.
I tried for days without success, but suddenly it worked. It is
possible, that I ran mythfilldatabase before that last scan that
apparently finally wrote the correct data into the database.
