I have copied the backend log when tried to change channels tonight. I
got a similar readout to the below on my frontend i.e. waiting for
decoder to pause, unpause, then seg fault.:

I have read on a few threads that a rescan will cause this error to go
away. However, I have deleted all tuners/inputs/sources and the above
was done with only one tuner setup in mythtv-setup.
Any ideas on how to fix this "Wrong PMT" error?
My setup in short: Gigabyte 8i945gmf-rh mobo; Pentium D 925 CPU; using
onboard GMA950 graphics to large old CRT via VGA (still works ok...WAF
increases with larger newer thinner tv for some reason); Leadtek
dtv1000t PCI DVB-T tv tuner; DVICO HDTV Fusion Lite PCI DVB-T tv tuner;
onboard analog 5.1 audio output to 5.0 Yamaha Sound System with alsa
plug; 300 watt no-name PSU; Silverstone LC17 HTPC enclosure; Archlinux
64-bit updated today...; Running combined FE/BE.
I still don't know why my system is sometimes unresponsive and I cannot
change channels up or down using up/down arrow keys (or remote up/down
keys for that matter)...
Regards,
Larry
btw, I am in Tassie, Australia FYI
