[mythtv-users] help - this is just too much

[George Styles]

FWIW I have exactly the same problem with DVB-T cards.

It should detect that there is no signal, and either provide a 'dummy' no 
signal picture, or be able to change channel. I was hoping the recent 
commits would fix this, but they dont :(
