I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem. I am located in Melbourne, I can tune into all channels except SBS and 9 on both of my HVR-2200 (two cards in system). I also have a DTV1000T in the same system, which can tune into SBS and 9 just fine.
The signal, snr, ber values coming out of the HVR-2200 driver seem very different to the DTV1000T i'm not sure if this has something to do with it, perhaps mythtv is misinterpreting it. I have had this problem for over a year, ubuntu and mythtv updates over the year have had no affect on the problem. The output of tzap scanning SBS ONE on the DTV1000T: tuning to 536625000 Hz video pid 0x00a1, audio pid 0x0051 status 01 | signal 0000 | snr 8000 | ber 00003fff | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal 2626 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 2626 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 2626 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 2626 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK The output of tzap scanning SBS ONE on HVR-2200: tuning to 536625000 Hz video pid 0x00a1, audio pid 0x0051 status 00 | signal 5454 | snr 0015 | ber 0000ffff | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal fefe | snr 00f6 | ber 00000017 | unc 00000048 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fefe | snr 0000 | ber 00000011 | unc 00000048 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fefe | snr 00f6 | ber 00000021 | unc 00000048 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fefe | snr 00f6 | ber 0000001d | unc 00000048 | FE_HAS_LOCK the HVR-2200 reports bit error rates whereas the DTV1000T does not, snr also seems quite low, perhaps the HVR-2200 has a different scale or meaning for these values. If there are more test anyone can suggest to perform please let me know, I have been living without SBS and 9 for so long I have almost given up on my DVR! :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548609 Title: 10.04-beta1 hvr-2200 station not getting signal Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: New Bug description: I've just tried out Mythbuntu 10.04-beta1 64bit with the built in driver for the saa-7164. I downloaded firmware for the HVR-2200, then I had to scan the channels using the scan command: $ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/au-Melbourne -o zap -a 1 | tee ~/.mythtv/channels.conf Then I had to import this in my scan so that I could get channels SBS and Nine. I've heard that these channels are special in their encoding. If I do the normal scan I pick up channels 2, 7, and 10. The only way I get SBS & nine is through the manual scan. But when I go and try to watch these stations I get errors. Here is the output on the command line after starting mythfrontend and going to the SBS channel: 2010-03-26 18:30:00.918 ProgramInfo: Updated pathname '':'' -> '1003_20100326183000.mpg' 2010-03-26
