Based on what you've described, I'd guess the most likely cause is that the mvpmc code is assuming that channel identifiers are integers. > Worse yet, attempting to tune to these channels yields the expected > progression of screens involved in LiveTV channel change but no > channel change at all. Is this what you would expect if you told mvpmc to tune to 16.1, but it actually tried to tune to 16? In other words, do you have a channel 16? > Named arbitrary high numbers, the channel numbers > display correctly but still won't tune! Hmmm...maybe the channel field is also limited in size.

In this case I'd say a code inspection would be the most efficient course of action. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
