[mythtv-users] DVB-S channel scanning gets stuck

[Steve Hill]

I've just started setting up a new backend from scratch and hit a problem 
when scanning channels (DVB-S, Astra 2 28.2E / Eurobird 1 28.5E).

I told mythtv-setup to do a tuned scan to start of with, and once that 
finished told it to scan all existing transports.  The scan seemed to go 
ok up until around the 20% mark, and then it got stuck, with mythtv-setup 
using up all the CPU time.  After trying this several times and getting 
the same results I decided to scan each transport individually.

Each transport scanned without problems except for transport 2316 
(11390330 KHz, vertical: http://en.kingofsat.net/tp.php?tp=1200), which 
got stuck in a loop, repeatedly updating the same channels in the database 
until I killed the process.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  I've tried it on both 0.21-fixes and 
trunk.  I can live without this transport, but not being able to do a full 
scan of all the transports is time consuming to say the least.


As a side note, the channel scanner in mythtv-setup displays the 
frequencies in KHz but puts a "Hz" instead of "KHz" suffix on them and 
doesn't display the polarisation.
