[Thomas Köller <691673@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In an attempt to find a workaround, I tried a couple of things:

1. Used the 'scan' program from dvb-apps to generate a 'channels.conf'
file and import that. The scan worked perfectly, which I take as proof
that my card is actually working. However, after importing the newly
generated 'channels.conf', the result was 'Failed to find any channels'.

2. Next thing I tried was 'Scan all existing transports'. Result was
'Error tuning to transport' and, after acknowledging that message,
'Programmer Error: Failed to handle tune complete'.

3. I then looked under 'Channel Editor -> Edit Transports', and indeed
there were none. So I selected '(New Transport)', which brought up a
window that was seemingly meant to input transport parameters, but was
entirely empty and did not contain any input fields whatsoever. After
hitting 'Next', the list contained a new transport named 'AUTO 0Hz'. I
then went back to point 2., but nothing had changed.

Title:
  mythtv-setup: TV channel scan broken

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running mythtv-setup on Ubuntu 10.10 (the regular desktop release, not mythbuntu), to set up my DVB-S2 sattelite receiver card. When starting the TV channel scan, I get "Error parsing parameters". This is exactly the bug described in the upstream trac ticket #7232 (http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7232), which is supposed to have been fixed long ago, but seems to be still present in the Ubuntu package.
