I backed up my database, and restored first to .29, then to .30 with Ubuntu PPA, and neither work with WatchTV. I tried increasing the signal timeouts to 3 and 10 seconds. The WatchTV fails in less than 1 second. Frontend complains the buffer file is to small (0B). I tried increasing it with mythtv-setup and it is not 0 bytes. That did not help anyway. The backend says something about expiring some program that I am not attempting to watch, though it is on the same channel I think. {{{ Frontend: Feb 6 22:18:19 tvscribe mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[15692]: D CoreContext lcddevice.cpp:606 (switchToChannel) LCDdevice: switchToChannel Feb 6 22:18:19 tvscribe mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[15692]: I CoreContext videooutbase.cpp:1517 (DisplayOSD) VideoOutput: Created YV12 OSD.
