Assign a SD lineup to the analog portion of a pchdtv 5500 card and press the button to fetch channels for the lineup. No channels are obtained. The MythTV instructions for SD caching mention that this is a problem but the given instructions for working around the issue do not work with the latest from the head.
A second capture card in the same machine (pvr-150) is able to have a lineup assigned and channels fetch fine.

Hmm, the analog portion of the card... I'll look into this.

Replying to danielk:

"Fetch channels" doesn't work when using the pchdtv 5500 and the DVB driver, with DirecTV coming in via the analog S-video port (no other inputs/sources configured). Set SD login, got list of my listings, selected DirecTV listings, selected "Fetch", exited, re-entered, selected "Fetch" again, -- no fetch, no channels, no joy.
Tried a manual download from SD and a manual mythconverg load via mythdatabasefill, but that resulted in partially corrupted channel data that wouldn't work with directv.pl for channel selection.
My new work-around is to use the V4L driver and do without digital broadcasts. "Fetch" works on re-entry try and gets channels. DirecTV video and directv.pl work!

Hack that allows V4L child cards of DVB cards to fetch listings.

Daniel, I tried it without success. I'm using stable 20.2, so I grabbed the source for that, ran configure and make, then executed mythtv-setup. I'll try to get back to it this week and run more tests. Be aware my language preferences are Ada and MISRA C, not C++ and SQL!. My "Play time" is limited, but I do have a spare disk to use for MythTV testing and HD CRT integration while not disturbing the operational PVR my family is now using. Thanks for all your MythTV efforts! Jack
invalid: "Fetch channels..." works, it must simply be run after scanning since it only fetches xmltvid's and never adds channels for any DVB card.
