Ok, I have finally found the problem. The transportid for the Virgin1
Multiplex was incorrect in the dtv_multiplex database table. There is no
way of editing this using mythtvsetup, but it has to be correct.
I guess I did a full scan and then edited some of the incorrect
multiplexes (neighbouring transmitters) to to right values for
the local transmitter. Unfortunately the transportid was not changed.
I consider this a bug in either mythtvsetup by not allowing it
to be edited or in the mythtv SDT parser as it could find out the
correct transportid for the stream it is decoding.
I'm not sure how you would find the correct transportid value except
by using dvbsnoop...

Cheers


Terry
