#6600: Apparent design flaw in handling changes on channel structure in DVB
transmisions.
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Reporter: barberio at lineone.net | Owner: danielk
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - Channel Scanner | Version: 0.21-fixes
Severity: high | Mlocked: 0
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Attention needs to be drawn to the bad user experience of
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/383253
which is something that hit all UK users of MythTV with the lineup changes
that happen regularly on DVB-T here.
This is a pretty major design flaw, that Myth can't handle lineup changes,
and keeps storing the old channel data even when it's wrong, and the
channel scanner has tried to update it. Worse that it can't be corrected
in the mythtv-setup application, because there's no way to force a run of
mythfilldatabase from there. Which breaks use of mythtv as a Set Top Box
system.
