Hi Jochen, thank you very much for your response.

Transponders and particular channels are found, but (probably) not inserted into the database correctly. Here is an example of my mythconverg data: channel table: INSERT INTO channel (chanid, channum, freqid, sourceid, callsign, name, icon, finetune, videofilters, xmltvid, recpriority, contrast, brightness, colour, hue, tvformat, commfree, visible, outputfilters, useonairguide, mplexid, serviceid, atscsrcid) VALUES (1110,'28106',NULL,1,'Das Erste','Das Erste','none',NULL,'','',0,32768,32768,32768,32768,'Default',0,1,'',1,50,28106,0); INSERT INTO channel (chanid, channum, freqid, sourceid, callsign, name, icon, finetune, videofilters, xmltvid, recpriority, contrast, brightness, colour, hue, tvformat, commfree, visible, outputfilters, useonairguide, mplexid, serviceid, atscsrcid) VALUES (1111,'28107',NULL,1,'Bayerisches FS','Bayerisches FS','none',NULL,'','',0,32768,32768,32768,32768,'Default',0,1,'',1,50,28107,0); INSERT INTO channel (chanid, channum, freqid, sourceid, callsign, name, icon, finetune, videofilters, xmltvid, recpriority, contrast, brightness, colour, hue, tvformat, commfree, visible, outputfilters, useonairguide, mplexid, serviceid, atscsrcid) VALUES (1112,'28108',NULL,1,'hr-fernsehen','hr-fernsehen','none',NULL,'','',0,32768,32768,32768,32768,'Default',0,1,'',1,50,28108,0); INSERT INTO channel (chanid, channum, freqid, sourceid, callsign, name, icon, finetune, videofilters, xmltvid, recpriority, contrast, brightness, colour, hue, tvformat, commfree, visible, outputfilters, useonairguide, mplexid, serviceid, atscsrcid) VALUES (1113,'28109',NULL,1,'arte','arte','none',NULL,'','',0,32768,32768,32768,32768,'Default',0,1,'',1,50,28109,0); dtv_multiplex table (this multiplex corresponds to the channels listed above): INSERT INTO dtv_multiplex (mplexid, sourceid, transportid, networkid, frequency, inversion, symbolrate, fec, polarity, modulation, bandwidth, lp_code_rate, transmission_mode, guard_interval, visible, constellation, hierarchy, hp_code_rate, sistandard, serviceversion, updatetimestamp) VALUES (50,1,1101,1,11836500,'a',27500000,'3/4','h','qpsk','a','auto','a','auto',0,'auto','a','auto','dvb',17,20050917221523); So far it looks OK. But, the dvb_pids table is empty! And this is a problem, I think. Could you please send me some sample of your tables? I mean channel, dtv_multiplex and dvb_pids (and any other relevant table, if there is any). > The Dvb_channels table is no longer used!! The channels are in the normal > channels table!!! Well, this is a new information to me. It looks like the database table formats are changing quite often... I found an mythconverg dump in this mailing list, which used the dvb_channel. I was quite confused by that. When I run mythtv, I see only black screen and this on the command line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mythtv 2005-09-19 23:51:11.618 New DB connection, total: 1 Total desktop width=1024, height=768, numscreens=1 2005-09-19 23:51:11.632 Using screen 0, 1024x768 at 0,0 2005-09-19 23:51:11.730 Switching to square mode (G.A.N.T.) 2005-09-19 23:51:13.336 New DB connection, total: 2 2005-09-19 23:51:13.429 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2005-09-19 23:51:13.470 Using protocol version 15 2005-09-19 23:51:13.588 Using protocol version 15 2005-09-19 23:51:18.959 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-09-19 23:51:23.961 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-09-19 23:51:28.962 taking too long to be allowed to read.. 2005-09-19 23:51:28.962 Took more than 10 seconds to be allowed to read, aborting.

Anyway I am glad to hear that the scanning was working with skystar card (btw. do you have skystar2 or skystar1 cards?). I was afraid that it is the driver issue (it looks like everybody in the mailing list is using these PVR-XXX cards...). I will probably try some older versions of mythtv, maybe the 18.1 and the SVN snapshot has really broken DVB-S scan functionality. Thank you.
