Me TV

Failed to lock to channel (dev branch)

Asked by Matias Korhonen

Yesterday after you solved my issue with the DVB-C channels.conf import Me-TV was working just fine. Now, however, when ever I try to use it I get a "Failed to lock to channel" error.

Here's the Me-TV output:

With respect, this does not seem like a Me TV issue to me. The device did not tell Me TV that it has locked onto the channel. Does it work in any other DVB application?

Thanks,

Michael

You were right. I rebuilt my tv card's drivers and 'lo and behold I can watch TV again.
