DVB is royally broken for HD3000 cards for channel change/up/down etc. Another major problem is that when you use channel up or down, the order of the channels is wierd. Also, some channels dont come at all. The main reason is that channel.channum is though defined as varchar, but used as integer all along in the code. Its fine if you have channels such as 21, 32, etc. But for HD, we have 2_1, 2_2, 5_1, 7_1, 7_2, 9_1, 9_2, 11_1, 11_2. The channel up/down operations add/subtract 1 from the current channel. Its works fine if you have integer channels. But when you have these "_" channels, the +/- operation is sort of screwed up. For eg, in the lineup, I've 2_1 and 2_2. But it never shows up 2_1 in the up/down. Only shows 2_2. Similarily no 11_1, only 11_2. But we need channels in 2_1, 2_2 format to make them work with zap2it database. If you just say 21, 22, then you will not get HD info. So, the cleanest method will be have an alternate table where the channel lineup is stored as 21, 22, 23, etc and its indexed into the channel table. For non HD channel, this new table will have redundant info, as channel # 22 in new table is same as channel #22 in the channum.channel. But for poor guys like us you have HDTV tuners, it'll have #22 in lineup.channum indexed as 2_2 !!! The quick and dirty way will be to simple remove the "_" sign from the channel number when doing the channel up/down calculation. I hope DVB dev team is doing something about it.
