Fine tuning channels...
Hi,
I'm hoping I can get some help with some channel problems I'm
having with my tuner card.

Basically I have two seperate problems, first I have some fine
tuning issues with FOX (not that the channel matters). I can
fine tune 6 with xawtv, save the correction to thw .xawtv file
(fine = -2) and run mythfilldatabase with --xawtv as described
in the documentation. However the fine tuning doesn't seem to
take.

Also there are a couple of channels that have defaulted to the
wrong audio channel and I have not had any luck
changing/selecting audio channels with anything.

Is there something wrong with my card or is this a usual issue?
On that note, any reccomended tuner cards? I'm looking at adding
a second card to my setup, and of course possibly replacing my
existing one (if its the trouble).

Thanks everyone for any help you can provide.

Re: Fine tuning channels... [ In reply to ]
I have the same problem and I just went into the DB Mythconverge (I think) and then open the channel table. There is a field there called fine-tune to which you can increase or decrease some number (1,3,4,-2, etc...).

I installed the odbc drivers in a windows machine and used Access to get connected to the DB using the mythtv user (password is mythtv). It worked fine, that way I can mess with the channels, settings, etc... I don't have a lot of knowledge in Mysql that's why I resorted using access.

I hope this helps!
