Hi
This fix doesn't work fully. If I select Watch TV from main menu, I only get a blank screen and after a little while a notice screen "You should have gotten a channel lock by now...". If I then press OK and select another channel with up/down, the selected channel works ok. I live in Finland and use DVB-C tuners.

tpv, this isn't a fix for anything, it's an enhancement.
Was tuning working before, are you having problems with this feature enabled or when it is disabled? As noted in the commit it will not work with some DVB drivers.
Please reply in MythTV Developer mailing list.

(In [12626]) Fixes #2944. Fixes a problem with DVB tuning caused by [12619].
The DVBChannel class has some smarts to skip tuning when it isn't needed, but unfortunately [12619] cleared out some of the tuning info before the redundant tune code was run. This meant tuning failed whenever these smarts were triggered.

Normally we tune using the VCT, SDT or NIT since these are almost always unique accross transports. This change allows you to tune using just the PAT and PMT instead. By default this is disabled, because it is not as reliable. But you can enable it on a per input basis in the input connections editor of mythtv-setup.
I would recommend that this not be enabled when using DVB-S with a rotor, or with any DVB cards with known frequency tuning problems.
