[mythtv-users] hauppauge dcr-2650 issues

I'm running mythbuntu 11.10 with the latest 0.25-fixes on a master backend with
3 dcr-2650 boxes plugged into it.  Aside from the random jump file errors on the
frontends everything's been running fine for a while now.

This morning my wife went to watch live tv and it immediately went back to the
main menu.  I checked the backend logs and see:

I think the key is the "invalid virtual channel"

I checked using the hdhomerun_config_gui and I can tune channels there, but it's
not using the same virtual channel numbers.  Calling up the tuner box web page
and looking at the logs there, I see:

20120708-02:31:28 CableCARD: Tuner1: vchannel 664 (597MHz-629) access = subscribed

20120709-13:35:02 CableCARD: Tuner1: vchannel 685 unknown (not found)


all the logs after 20120709-13:34 say the unknown line.


Last night it worked fine.

I ran mythfilldatabase to see if that had problems and it worked fine, but I
still can't tune a channel.  I also went into the source config in mythtv-setup
and change the tuning mode from us-bcast to us-cable and also reselected that
source for all the tuners and had it download channel info from the source and
that didn't help either.

At this point I think I need to remove the schedules direct source and readd it
and then recreate all the tuners in the system.

Unless someone here has a better solution.


Thanks!

Scott
