[mythtv-users] Need help to understand DVB-T problem......

[Thor]

hi all,

thanks mythtv, I had very relaxed 4 years. I am running a pvr350 based  
front/backend combo since 2003. (which i didn't upgrade since then  
either ;-)

it is/was a very stable box but it is getting to get louder and  
picture quality woes. (pvr350 svhs output) so i thought it is time for  
a new box, new h/w and maybe digitial (DVB-T) TV. the epg (I live in  
germany) was pain with the above combo every once in a while you  
needed to rewrite the grabber and such. anyhow, i had an epia m6000  
from an other project, and also a terratec cinergy xs diversity stick,  
which comes along with 2 tuners on it. so i started building the box.
since my job changed, i have not a day to day hands on with linux no  
more, being a bit rusty, but i managed to get the stick working with  
mplayer. i can tune and watch channels like a charm. but when i try to  
use it with myth, all channels on a specific multiplex do not work at  
all. the thing is, i do not know where to go from here. any and every  
input is appreciated.
apologies for the long story, and the even longer logs attached.

Thanks !
Thor
