[mythtv-users] DVB-T2 HD in Germany

Hi,

I try to get DVB-T2 HD working with 0.28. I was able to scan for
channels. However, they seem to be detected as non-TV channels.
Watching such a channel in MythTV results in audio but no video.

I also used dvbv5-scan and the video PID was not detected correctly,
but some "PID_24" is put into the resulting channels.conf instead. 
After replacing it with "VIDEO_PID" I can tune into one of the FTA
channels using dvbv5-zap and watch it. So at least my hardware seems to
work fine for DVB-T2 HD.

Could it be that MythTV stumbles over the same thing? Here is some
debug output when starting to watch:

    Stream Identifier Descriptor (0x52): ComponentTag=0x8

The frontend reports "Stream #0, has id 0x562 codec id E-AC3" and "Stream #1, has id 0x566 codec id
DVB_TELETEXT", so it looks like the real stream #0 which contains the
video is ignored.

Any other ideas what else I could try? Are the PIDs stored in the DB
somewhere?

Tino
