One of my tuners is hooked up to a Motorola cable box, connected via a serial port, and controlled via the dct-channel program. This evening, our digital cable went out, so dct-channel would fail when trying to tune a digital cable channel. So, when it tried to record a program on digital cable, this happened: 2006-08-24 21:59:31.536 TVRec(18): Changing from None to RecordingOnly 2006-08-24 21:59:32.570 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:33.578 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:34.586 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:35.594 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:36.602 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:37.610 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:38.618 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) 2006-08-24 21:59:39.626 ret_pid(0) child(6711) status(0x0) Communication failed after 5 tries 0 2006-08-24 21:59:40.634 ret_pid(6711) child(6711) status(0x100) 2006-08-24 21:59:40.639 ChannelBase: external tuning program exited with error 1 2006-08-24 21:59:40.639 TVRec(18) Error: Failed to set channel to 301. Reverting to kState_None 2006-08-24 21:59:40.640 TVRec(18): Changing from RecordingOnly to None ..this is fine and good (it cancelled the recording, as expected, since it can't tune it); however, the program was marked as Previously Recorded, so it wasn't automatically scheduled to re-record. I had to go ""Forget Old"" in Mythweb to get it to re-schedule the recording." defect closed minor unknown mythtv 0.19 low fixed mythtv@… 0
