[coszmos <coszmos@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am affected by this bug as well.  I installed to a new clean hard
drive with the old one disconnected.  My setup is exactly the same as my
prior functioning setup on 8.04 with .21.

When the system tries to tune the tuner, it appears to be running the
channel change script several times in a row.  I added in an echo
statement that redirected to a random file.  On one channel change, the
script was run in rapid succession 4 or 5 times.

I can see that the initial tune happened correctly, because there is a
brief second where there is video and then after the channel change
script is run a bunch more times and then the system gives up.

I modified my channel change script to just exit 0, thinking maybe the
invocation is doing error checking and re-running because it doesn't
receive the correct return result.  No dice.

I subscribed to the autobuilds and did the big update.  I am still
seeing this same issue.

This is a stopper for me, as I need my PVR-500 (which is 1 x 2
PVR-150's) to work.  It sucks because I bought a Revo and really want to
get the new interfaces and the VDPAU.  I've dropped back to .21 and I'm
pretty much in a holding pattern on .22, I guess I'll take a look at the
code, but I'm not fluent in c++.

Using an HD5500 and firewire on .22 worked well.   I was able to import
some old recordings and playback was beautiful using VDPAU.

Thanks,
Brian

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete

Bug description:
I just did a fresh format/install of Mythbuntu 9.10 on an older AMD64 box with a PVR-150 capture card and external cable box, and am no longer able to launch LiveTV.  It will continuously run the change channel script for a few times before exiting back to mythfrontend's main menu.  (The script runs fine from the terminal).  From that point on, the tuner will appear to be in use until mythbackend is restarted.

Full steps to reproduce the bug on AMD64 or i386 are here along with a link to the captured log files.

Following more or less the same steps in 9.04 or 8.10 works just fine.

Any help in squashing this bug would be very appreciated.  Thanks for helping make the world's best PVR accessible to the rest of us :)
