changing channels problem
I've got mythtv setup now, and i've been trying to get it working
properly. my current problem lies with channel up/down not working.
Pressing either brings up the OSD, without any actual channel data.

I was thinking it might be due to my particular setup, its an analogue
cable feed from NTL (UK supplier). So the capture card only has to tune
in to one station, and then run an external program to change the
channel. Upon startup, mythtv fails to set the initial station on the
tuner card, the correct value is in the database. i have to run
xawtv before running myth, so the channel is correctly set.

Does anyone else have myth setup in the UK with an external receiver?
if so, how have you done it, and does your channel data appear correctly
when you press up/down? The EPG data has been downloaded, and displays
fine when scheduling recordings, but not when trying to switch channels
from live tv.

Re: changing channels problem [ In reply to ]
I plan to finish a patch tonight that will change the tuning and inputs
code so that it plays nicely with multiple inputs, external channel
changing, multiple video sources (thus multiple program lists), et cetera.
