Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-dvb-daemon
In the course of debugging Bug #361322 we had to recognize that gnome-dvb-setup can produce a channels list that contains the wrong tunning parameters. This is a showstopper as users will just perceive that Totem's DVB playback and recording via gnome-dvb-daemon will not work.
For user reading this bug: you can work around this bug by placing a working channels.conf to ~/.config/

Okay i opened an upstream report at Bug #548776 , but didn't manage it to add it via "Also affects project". BTW Sebastian Pölsterl (who is the upstream author) is already aware of the issue.

this patch doesn't build with g-d-d 0.1.16 + vala 0.8.0.

I'm aware of the issues with vala 0.8.0. I'm currently working on it, give me 30 minutes ;)

Should be fixed in bzr now.
| Frédéric Crozat (fcrozat) wrote : | #8 |
ok, it works fine (it only found a subset of available channels but it might be caused by fr-Paris file being incorrect, I didn't test a full scan yet) but I found another bug in the process #558583 :)

Are the errors/warnings you mentioned in bug #540937 gone as well?
| Frédéric Crozat (fcrozat) wrote : | #10 |
no, they are still there (log attached).

Ok, the frequency that's causing problems has been retrieved during the scan (not in initial tuning data). If I understand it correctly, it isn't fatal, the broadcaster just put a wrong frequency in there.

This patch has been accepted upstream and the new version is in debian, should be synced for maverick.

so far i can confirm that at least DVB-T is affected.
