[mythtv-users] MythTV can't (safely) record UK Channel five

[Jerome Hettich]

I have two myth boxes both with Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T USB2 tuners.

Both run atrpms packaged versions of myth 0.20 but one running on FC3 
and one FC4.

The one running on Fedora Core 4 records all channels perfectly but 
since upgrading from myth 0.19 to 0.20 the FC3 box will never record 
anything on channel 5, abc1, QVC or anything else on multiplex A.

The recordings seem to fail with different symptoms to John describes 
though. Any scheduled recordings on the FC3 box just produce a zero byte 
file (or few 100 byte files) rather than mythbackend crashing.

I have found that switching to any of these channels through LiveTV does 
result in a few seconds of the channel being displayed (and a few 
seconds recorded) to file before this somehow stalls. So I assume this 
is actually a problem with DVB tuning method in 0.20 interacting with 
the DiBcom 3000 driver in 2.6.12-2.3.legacy_FC3.
