First off, the QAM64 patches that Frank provided have not been merged

I see that now. Weird that MythTV is tuning the QAM64 channel now. Could it be related to the DVB-T additions? Could the DVB-T additions cause the QAM256 corruption I am seeing?

Has the MythTV situation gotten *worse* with this code compared to the
current v4l-dvb tip?  It would not surprise me if there are some
general MythTV issues with the 950q (I am in the process of building a
MythTV box so I can test/debug).  However, I would be surprised if
there were *new* issues.

Looking at the MythTV logs I would say the situation is better as there are fewer errors. It returns to the menu much quicker so it could just be that it is failing before it hits a timeout.

I do know that mkrufky was mentioning there
was some sort of way to tell MythTV about hybrid devices, so that the
application doesn't try to use both the analog and digital at the same
time - and if you didn't do that then this could explain your issue.

I believe that mkrufky is referring to input groups. I do have the analog and digital set to the same group.

Regarding the mplayer issue, please try this:

<unplug the 950q>
cd v4l-dvb
make unload
modprobe xc5000 no_poweroff=1
<plug in the 950q>

... and then see if mplayer still has issues.  This might be somehow
related to the firmware having to be reloaded taking too long for
mplayer (the firmware has to be reloaded when the chip is woken up
after being powered down).

Did that and it still failed with the following (same as before):
Playing dvb://2@FOX.
FE_GET_INFO error: 19, FD: 4

DVB CONFIGURATION IS EMPTY, exit
Failed to open dvb://2@FOX.

FOX is the first entry in my .mplayer/channels.conf file.

Thanks,
Britney
