Hey All,

I have tried this question twice on mythtv-users, and was met with stunning
silence...

So here we go with hopefully more knowledgable people:

I have configured my MythTV box with a DVICO Fuson HDTV DVB card that is working a treat with an VIA MII 10000 board. But for some reason after about a week of running, all the other channels in a multiplex start appearing in my epg. In australia most of the commericical stations have 3-4 channels but
they are are duplicates. So to reduce clutter, I never added them. But
something is adding them, and I want to find out what it is and kill it.

Does mythtv detect extra channels on the digital mutiplexed broadcast and add
them automatically ?
I'm sick of deleting them from my channels config. I'm sure this feature would be great for most people, but it is highly annoying at the moment. Anybody
have any ideas as to what is causing this ?

I started seeing this recently and, on the advice of a post I now can't find, made this change:

-        pthread_create(&scanner_thread, NULL, SpawnScanner, scanner);
+//        scanner = new SIScan((DVBChannel *)channel, 1);
+//        pthread_create(&scanner_thread, NULL, SpawnScanner, scanner);
         if (inputname.isEmpty())
             channel->SetChannelByString(startchannel);

That has fixed the problem for me. It probably also gives my grandmother back pain and other strange side effects, so use at own risk.

Be well,

Will           :-}
