[MarcRandolph <mrand@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu and mythtv by
opening this ticket.

I would suggest capturing a log of the scan by performing the following
commands.  After doing so, you can either submit the log here and I'll
try to find time to forward it upstream, or you are welcome to open an
upstream ticket yourself with all the info that you have on this ticket,
including your attempted workarounds.

sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop

and then [everything between here and "mark" should be on one line]

sudo mythtv-setup.real --verbose
channelscan,siparser,channel,record,extra > mythtv-setup.log

[mark]

You can then replace "stop" with "restart" to relaunch the backend.

Title:
  mythtv-setup: TV channel scan broken

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

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.
