[mythtv-users] 0.25: since 10 days PVR-500 fails to tune?

Not hand-poked :-) Used the channel editor in mythtv-setup, just entered 
the correct frequencies there. The scanner doesn't work over here:

This is (I'm pretty sure) exactly what I've done (with a different 
tv_grab_nl though). "It always worked in the past" :-(

Jos, I assume you're running a 0.24 version? Maybe I'll try downgrading 
(using 0.25 for the new audio code), or checking the commits for any 
changes in channel selecting using frequencies...

What kind of surprises me is:

> 2011-05-31 21:46:28.023 V4LChannel(/dev/video1) Error: GetCurrentChannelNum(784000): Failed to find Channel

where a frequency appears to go into a function related to channel 
*numbers*?
