[mythtv-users] Re: No sound from HD-3000 sometime after svn 7031,

[Shermann Min]

Thanks for the advice. Regarding subchannel tuning, I cleared
out my channels and did a fresh scan last night. No luck--still
just tunes to subchannel 1 even though the OSD claims it's on
subchannel 2 or 3, unfortunately. Any other ideas?

Regarding the lack of sound, the + and - keys don't help. I
checked my logs again, and I don't see anything glaring. Here's
the log after starting mythfrontend, selecting Watch TV,
then exiting out:

2005-11-01 22:11:30.730 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback

Just to compare, I reverted back to svn 7031 (the one that does
have sound) and did the same thing:

2005-11-01 22:15:02.618 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback

Not sure what the "Desired channel 2_1 not found" and "PSIP prefix"
lines are all about.
