Lost all my muxes last night
Restarted tvheadend... nothing. Seemed to scan in the muxes again, but no sitgnal improvements.
Rebooted the server... muxes started to gain their signal back.
From this, I'm now thinking that it's not totally TVHeadend causing this, as a restart of just that service doesn't fix it. There's clearly something else being reset when the whole machine reboots.
Not sure if this is unrelated, but even tho my Mythtv-backend had the signal all the time, I've totally stopped using it due to a potential permissions issue. Most of the time it couldn't access the DVB card, and resetting permissions to 777 did fix it sometimes. The DVB persmissions were then reset (without a reboot), and more problems started - most of the time a full reboot was needed.
Maybe its the same issue affecting both, but both handle it differently - I'm kinda thinking drivers, or the udev system 'resetting' the hardware.
Sorry, I can't be any more technical than that - but I'm experienced enough to follow instructions if anyone knows any more??
Really need TvHeadend to work, it's too awesome (when it has signal).
