James, The same symptom(s) here, "No PIDs set ...". But I was able to fix it, restoring the affected system, here's what I found. The "starting channel" for the HD-3000 card had been removed from the channel lineup. By violating "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule, I had run another Scan on the Channel Editor screen of mythtv-setup. That scan failed to find KTCADT, channel number 21. I had set the starting channel number for the HD-3000 card to 21. Right after that scan, I could no longer watch or record from the HD-3000. At first, I thought the card burned up. So I tried using dvbtraffic to test the card. This link was a big help: http://pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=688&highlight=dvbtraffic The card was good, so then I knew it was something I had done. I looked thru the channels.conf file, found the frequency for KTCA. Then I looked thru the list of frequencies on Channel Editor -> Advanced. Either there was no entry with KTCA's frequency, or that entry had all zeros, I can't remember. But that told me that MythTV no longer knew anything about KTCA. So, I went back to Channel Editor -> Scan for channels, and scanned for only one signal (UHF 34) - not a full scan. This time the scan found KTCA and added KTCADT to the list of scanned channels. After starting the backend and the frontend, I could watch and record (again) from the HD-3000 card. Well, that was kind of a long-winded story, and it might not have anything to do with your problem. But the symptom(s) seemed similar enough. -- MM _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
