[mythtv-users] Recording ok but no live tv after DVB-T card exchange

Hi all,

I have had a working MythTV configuration using a DVB-T card. But now I 
had to exchange that card by a different type of DVB-T card. Every 
thing else remained unchanged. I installed the latest dvb-kernel and 
using those drivers the card is working now. I had to rebuild all files 
in /dev/dvb/adapter0 too, since the new drivers are using a different 
major id now.

Now I can record without any problems in MythTV. And I can watch the 
recording afterwards, too. But I can not watch live TV, even on the 
same channel. Strange, isn't it?

The log file output for a recording is like that:
-------

Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

(BTW: I have used the search feature. It shows an enormous amount of 
pages and I have stopped after browsing through 10 of them. Sorry if 
this has been answered before)
