My myth box recently stopped tuning some channels on the AirStar
HD5000 connected to cable. Its been getting about 20 channels of
clear QAM, but now it can't tune any of the channels on one
frequency - the rest are fine. From the description of the tuning
letters from the FAQ, it looks like LaG_ means it sees PAT frames but
doesn't think they are good. I have a Sony HDTV and it still gets
the channels that myth cant; it can pick them up at the remapped
channel (eg 5.1) and the actual channel, which is what my myth setup
has (105.1), so the channels haven't moved.
I grabbed dvbsnoop to see what it could tell me:
[root at dvr .azap]# azap -r -c channels.conf "WLWT"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 681000000 Hz

==========================================================
I just upgraded to MythTV 0.20.1-156 from atrpms, and that didnt
help. I'm on FC6 and the kernel is 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 - a few months
old.
What type of checks are there to see if the PAT is valid and are
those checks in myth or the driver for the card?
