Problem with QAM256 channel scan

Description

Trying out channel scanning for my AverMedia? 180 card to find available channels on my cable system. As mentioned in #1779 I needed to bump the timeout to 3000ms to find any channels. Scanner now finds lots of channels but I can't seem to get any to display and myth just kicks me out of livetv. I have had success with getting content on a few channels using azap and mencoder as described in the wiki so I think the hardware is ok.

Using a recent svn build 101xx.

I've attached my log from mythtv-setup.

(In [10231]) Refs #1779. Refs #1935. Increases signal timeout for AverMedia? 180 from 500 ms to 3000 ms (for more reliable channel scan).

I would need a (-v record,channel,siparser) log from tuning to be sure, but I believe your tuning problem is related to #1966 (see full description by mythtv-dev+list AT monmotha DT net on May 29th in dev mailing list). MythTV at the moment only supports minor channels up to 255, but your scan shows channels with minor numbers in the 900's. The work-around for this problem is to run "UPDATE channel SET atscsrcid=0;" in the DB after the scan.

Closing as duplicate of #1966.
