[mythtv-users] Myth and a DEC2000

[meh at runlevel6.net]

Im building a HTPC using Gentoo and MythTV 0.18.1r1 (Latest portage version). 
I have my Hauppauge DEC2000-T set up and working fine with dvbscan, tzap and 
mplayer.
When getting it running in Myth I run into problems when scanning for 
channels. The auto scan finds IIRC 6 transport streams (which match what 
dvbscan gave me) then gives me nothing else. It takes about 20 mins to reach 
100% then just sits there, after cancelling it there are no channels in  the 
list.
I found an app (tv_grab_dvb) to convert my dvbscan channels.conf and input it 
into the database, which gives a nice list of channels in the channel editor. 
After having some issues setting up the default start channel, I now get the 
following error when starting the backend:

"Could not find dvb tuning parameters for transport0"
"Unable to tune to channel"

Then selecting "Watch TV" from the frontend gives me a black screen which 
times out, the backend giving a lot of "No data received from card". I havent 
altered the transports from what the autoscan gives me, the parameters shown 
match what dvbscan gave me. I tried clearing all channels then entering the 
data manually, but I have no idea what to enter for "Frequency ID" when 
entering the channels.

Im aware from searching the list that there were issues with the DEC and 
scanning, but the changelog for 0.18 suggests the patch I saw was 
implemented. Is this true, or will I be better off trying the CVS version? Or 
is there some MySQL trickery to get the channnels from channels.conf in the 
database?

Apart from that it looks a fantastic package and I can't wait to get it 
running!
