<br>Hi There,<br><br>I'm rather new to mythtv, but I bought a box from <a href="http://efficientpc.co.uk">efficientpc.co.uk</a> with a Nova T 500 card in it running Ubuntu Feisty. Although I'm in a flat with a shared antenna/aerial, we've had several off-the-shelf freeview receivers over the years and they have worked fine. But with mythtv I'm occasionally getting lots of problems locking on to channels. I have tried doing a full scan, with no benefits. I've tried creating a
channel.conf (luckily there exists an example one for my transmitter (Oxford, UK)), and importing that.<br><br>The symptoms seem to be if the box is left for a long time (overnight say) then it will have difficult locking on channels when I try in the morning, even though it says signal is high and it is a perfectly clear day. But if we restart mythtv-backend then it will suddenly be able to lock on the channels again. While this workaround works, it is frustrating. My initial tests with tzap confirm that it is getting a lock on these channels, but I don't really understand the numbers in the output to be honest.
<br><br>Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? I keep looking through the setup and preferences, etc. to see if there is some setting I've mis-set. <br><br>Many thanks for any help,<br><br>-James<br><br>-- <br>
