#1339: Unable to lock to a stream
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  kickus    |       Owner:  danielk
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  critical  |   Milestone:         
Component:  dvb       |     Version:  0.19   
 Severity:  high      |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 My mythtv is not able to lock to a stream, which makes both the LiveTV and
 recording functions unusable. However, the mythtv is able to scan for
 channels (and finds them).

 I've earlier tried 0.18 and was hoping that the problems would have been
 solved in 0.19, but unfortunately the problem persists. My drivers should
 be ok since kaffeine works very nice.

 When trying to activate LiveTV in the frontend, I get an error message
 "You should have gotten a channel lock by now. You can continue to wait
 for a signal, or you can change the channels with Up or Down, change
 input's (C), capture cards (Y), etc."

 Here is a snippet of the mythtv output:

 I'm running linux 2.6.15.4 and I'm using debian sid with the latest
 mythtv-packages from ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat (at the moment
 version 0.19-0.2).


 My Cinergy 1400 (dvb-t) card reports:

 What might have gone wrong?
