OK, seems like it was no Swedes on the list or that noone wanted, or
could answer my question. :)

I recorded a program today. I was turning on Xawtv, tuning in to the
right station and then got to the EPG to let it record what I wanted to
see. I went out, took a couple of beers and got back to see if it
recorded as it should, it did!! I then happened to press arrow up on the
keyboard, and guess what? It changed channels, just as it should! That's
great!

However, I restarted the backend and then I couldn't change channels
again... that's a little weird, isn't it? So maybe I don't have a
problem with the database after all? Or maybe just a part of the
database? Is it perhaps the part when you setup what channel is to be
tuned when starting?

There is two columns in the cardinput table called tunechan and
startchan, is that my problem?

I'm running 0.8 (not CVS) and this is the output from backend from
starting until stopping:

Starting up as the master server.
Probed: /dev/video - Television
Probed: /dev/video - Composite1
Probed: /dev/video - S-Video
Probed: /dev/video - Composite2
adding: linux as a player 1
adding: linux as a player 0
adding: linux as a player 0
adding: linux as a remote ringbuffer
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
opened vbi device
channel '0' has no tuner (composite)
Channel: '' was not found in the database.
Most likely, the default channel set for this input
(/dev/video Television )
in setup is wrong
Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None
closed vbi device
Changing from None to RecordingOnly

adding: linux as a player 0
adding: linux as a player 0
adding: linux as a remote ringbuffer
Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV

These lines got me worried.... something seems to be wrong:

channel '0' has no tuner (composite)
Channel: '' was not found in the database.
Most likely, the default channel set for this input
(/dev/video Television )
in setup is wrong

I don't have a cable to the composite part of the TV card (Cinergy 400)

Default channel AFAIK is nothing in the database, is this my problem? Do
I have to fill in something here? I have tried a chanid, and a channum
in there, but nothing helps...

Thanks so much for any help!

did you also restart the frontend at this time,
or did you leave it running?

I shutdown the frontend first, and then restarted the backend. Any idea
what the problem could be? :)
