[mythtv-users] 0.19 Channel change/ keyboard problem [Was: Re: 0.19 Upgrade - Channel Change Problems]

[Steve Milner]

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I am hoping someone can shed some
light on this.

I've been using 0.18 since the post below without problems until last
week, when a terminal SATA drive failure has resulted in a re-install.

I've installed FC5, using Gnome, done all the bits & installed
myth-suite 0.19-60 from atrpms

Using TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T with
dvb-usb-diusb-5.0.0.11.fw

I'm back in the position where I can change channel once and then
mythfrontend fails to respond to any keystrokes. I can use <Alt> + <Tab>
to switch focused application yet switching focus to mythfrontend does
not assist with the recognition of keyboard input.

Since the failure of the hard drive I don't have my old 0.18 myth rpms
anymore so that will prove to be a pain to get hold of set, but I'd
really like to get 0.19 working.

The channel change delay is much better on this version, but using
mythtv-setup to manually scan for channels still results in erratic
behaviour with only a very small number of channels detected. Using a
channels.conf easily generated by scandvb is what I have used to
populate the channels data.

I'm trying to acquire a different DVB-T receiver to test to see if the
problem is localised to the hardware, but that could be some time.

Any ideas anyone?

Anyone else in the same boat?

Do you need more info, I'll happily get anything I can posted.

I'll post back any results.

Regards,
Steve
