Are you recording any scifi movies? I had similar strange experiences with my mythtv box. Then I discovered a strange correlation between the scifi movies I recorded and the kinds of strange behavior I experienced.
I too had database changes after recording "Altered States." The I snagged "China Syndrome" and the power supply melted down. Burned a hole clean through the case! After fixing the power supply I recorded "Night of the Living Dead" and the system would mysteriously boot up in the middle of the night and create hundreds of zombie processes. Spooky. Now I only record stuff from The Family Channel and my system is fine. YMMV. On the other hand channel.channum = channel.freqid is (for me) the normal content of the table after a DataDirect channel load. (freqid is converted to an actual frequency in the code.) Did you run through setup again? On Apr 1, 2005 1:21 AM, Andrew Meredith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > This is my first post here.
