Because current limitations in Frontend, backend protocol it is very 
worse to tune to a channel which is not working. You will stuck at this 
channel forever. To recover from this, there are town possibilities:
1. start the setup app and at card input put in a working channel number 
at start channel

2.
mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg
password: mythtv
update cardinput set startchan=1; (1 is the new working start channel) 
or if you have more than one input:
select * from cardinput; choose card and:
update cardinput set startchan=1 where cardid=X (X choosed card)
restart backend: /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart (frontends can stay 
open, it will reconnect after an error message)

Notice: This is on the todo list of the DVB Devs.
