Suddenly only recording in SD, not HD
Hi,

I have a MythTV setup that has been working very well for a few years.
Highlights:
- Proxmox, container with Ubuntu 20.04.
- Hauppauge dualHD USB stick (passed through), DVB/DVB-T2

Suddenly in the last few days it has stopped being able to tune into
HD channels, but it can still tune to SD. When trying to tune to any
HD channel, I get a timeout error:
TuningSignalCheck: taking more than 5000 ms to get a lock. marking
this recording as 'Failing'.

The timeout was 3000ms, and I tried increasing it to 5000 but it has not helped.

When tuning in MythTV Frontend, it shows:
Signal 73%
S/N 4.7dB
(TLMs) Partial Lock

Clearly, my hardware is still working. I appear to have decent signal
quality. I have completely restarted all hardware to eliminate any odd
issues there.

I am not sure on where my line of enquiry should be to investigate
further? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Karl

Here in New Zealand we have one channel ("Three") where the channel
timeout has to be at least 7000 ms for it to tune. I have all my
capturecard.channel_timeout values set to 10000. Originally,
mythbackend used to do multiple attempts at channel tuning, and with
this channel the first attempt would fail and then a later attempt
would succeed. When the tuning code was fixed to just do one tuning
attempt and obey the channel_timeout properly, Three stopped tuning
and I had to increase the channel_timeout values. With 10,000 ms, it
always tunes. I think that if you create a new database these days,
the default channel_timeout will be 10,000 ms, but if your capturecard
table was created earlier and continuously upgraded, it will have the
older default channel_timeout (3000 ms ???).

Three was not originally different from the other channels, but at
some point in its history some setting was changed in its transmitter
setup that has caused this problem. So it may be that the transmitter
setup for your HD channels has been changed similarly recently. It is
certainly worth trying very large channel_timeout values to see if it
helps.

It could be that your provider has changed the signal. I suggest doing a
new channel scan.

Are you by any chance located in UK?  I am in the south east using the
Bluebell Hill transmitter.  My setup uses a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD and
since Thursday have been experiencing the same as you, all previously
stable HD channels fail to tune.  I have rebooted, increased the timeout
and even done a channel rescan for that transport (PSB3/BBSB/C45) which
found all the same channels but still the channels on that transport
fail to tune.  There have been no changes to the platform (Ubuntu 18.04
| mythtv 29.1) and since all the channels on the other transports are
working fine I wasnt sure where to go next.

I've done a full rescan - which definitely worked because it's renamed
some of the channels and changed their IDs. The console output shows
that it detected plenty of channels, including the HD channels I would
expect.

Unfortunately I still can't view the HD channels - but I can still
view the SD channels.

I've stopped mythtv-backend, and used dvbv5-scan and dvbv5-zap to
successfully record a few seconds of an HD channel that I can't view
through MythTV. So this would suggest that my hardware, drivers, etc
are all working fine. Signal must be fine?

Why would this have suddenly stopped working only a few days ago?

Here's the relevant log lines from my mythbackend.log:

Hi John,

Thanks for the tip, I assumed that because the scan of that transport
found all the expected channels, the transport itself must have been
correctly configured.  I looked in the channelscan_channel table and
sure enough, the HD Transport ID has changed from 16515 to 16524 but
this has not been updated in the dtv_multiplex table.

mysql> SELECT `scanid`, `mplex_id`, `service_name`, `chan_num`,
`service_id`, `sdt_tsid` FROM `channelscan_channel` WHERE `scanid` =
'34' AND `mplex_id` = '7' AND `sdt_tsid` > '0';

+--------+----------+---------------+----------+------------+----------+

After updating the transportid for mplexid 7 in the dtv_multiplex table
and restarting the backend, all the HD channels are working once more.

Thanks again.

The best way to scan again, especially with older versions of MythTV, is to
create a new video source, connect the driver(s) to that video source and
then do a full scan. There have been considerable changes in channel
scanning in MythTV since v31 and I think that at least with version 33
scanning should be perfect and also changed transport IDs are correctly
processed. If not, please create a Github issue for this (
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues) and it will get fixed.

Klaas.
