Ok, maybe we're getting somewhere here. Between source and destination satellites it will see satellites with transponders on the same frequency I'm tuned to. In that case it sees a PAT, but of course an invalid one. After waiting 400ms and still not getting a valid PAT, siparser doesn't give up, correct?

Run the backend with '-v channel,record,siparser' to see all the relevant messages for tuning. Stuart Auchterlonie has recently been making some changes so that the invalid PAT message is printed once and only once. It is however printed 400 ms after it is first seen to suppress some spurious error messages when using broken DVB drivers (or a Linux kernel before 2.6.12). -- Daniel _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev EMAIL DISCLAIMER Please Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential, protected from disclosure, and/or intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.
