[mythtv-users] Can't access PVR-350 after upgrading to 0.21

   I upgraded to 0.21 this morning (FC5, custom built RPMs), and it 
mostly went hitch free, except that myth seems unable to fully recognise 
my PVR-350 (which is connected to my satellite box).

   I tried removing and re-adding the device in setup, and also adding 
'new' channels but to no avail.  It doesn't run the channel-change 
command, and doesn't show any program details in the 'now on' OSD, just 
a black screen.  My DVB card still works OK, as do previous recordings.

   I can't help but feel it's just a hiccup in the d/b conversion but I 
can't for the life of me see what's wrong.

   The backend said this:

   So it had some sort of look-up error, but did find the last channel.


   Here're the relevant (I think) d/b entries, assuming it doesn't all 
get wrapped:
