Hi Gareth,

The version I'm using is:


$ mythbackend --version

Please include all output in bug reports.
MythTV Version   : 20769M
MythTV Branch    : branches/release-0-21-fixes
Library API      : 0.21.20080304-1
Network Protocol : 40

I did have the use this card for active EIT scan enabled on all cards.

I discovered how to fix this but there is a few nasty trade offs ?, you 
must delete the ALL channels for for the DVBS cards and instantly the 
EIT works for all the DVB-T cards :(

The second nasty is I've lots of recordings from previous "Video 
Sources", so I have to keep those sources around or I lose all the 
channel meta data e.g. "1 BBC One" changes to "#12345#" - not nice!

Catch 22, is I'd really like to completely start over with a new 
database, but I have tuns of movies and IMDB metadata/cover files etc..,

Also, I have about 10TB of recordings from TV, lots of data I do not 
want to lose.

So, I some point I'm going to export all the video related tables in the 
database and start a fresh

It would be really nice if there was a "clean" way to do this.

Albert.
