[mythtv-users] PVR-150 frequencies

[Roald]

Hi all,

I have the last days experience a weird problem with my setup. I have
a Centos 6 MythTV-backend, and two PVR-150s in that. I have tried
several of the available kernel, seemingly without any different
result. I am located in Norway, Get as TV provider.

Version of MythTV (from atrpms) is

MythTV Version : v0.25.2
MythTV Branch :
Network Protocol : 72
Library API : 0.25.20120506-1
QT Version : 4.7.2
Options compiled in:
 linux release use_hidesyms using_alsa using_jack using_oss
using_pulse using_pulseoutput using_backend using_bindings_perl
using_bindings_python using_bindings_php using_crystalhd using_dvb
using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun using_ceton using_hdpvr
using_iptv using_ivtv using_joystick_menu using_libcrypto
using_libdns_sd using_libfftw3 using_libxml2 using_lirc using_mheg
using_opengl_video using_qtwebkit using_qtscript using_qtdbus
using_v4l2 using_v4l1 using_x11 using_xrandr using_xv
using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_bindings_php
using_mythtranscode using_opengl using_vaapi using_vdpau
using_ffmpeg_threads using_live using_mheg using_libass using_libxml2


All channels seem to have gone static for me for about the last week.

I have checked the frequencies and they should not have changed. They
have not changed on my telly. I checked them via my providers webpage
and they say it hasnt been any changes for the last year.

I have checked the cables, there is a telly connected to the same
antenna switchbox, and I have tried moving the cables around, and the
telly works fine with all combinations.

Catting /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 gives static, which is probably
correct since it may not be tuned to any channels.

Before today, I had not rebooted for a long time, probably a month or
two. I seems the problem started about a week ago, 27 september.

On some channels I can see a picture, with horrible quality, it seems
like the frequencies are off.

How can i tune to a channel now? It seems ivtv-tune.pl has disappeared.

Any ideas?
