Failed to lock to channel

I get these too but it's due to poor reception. Is this the same with you? What would you expect it to say?

with same reception i don't have this issue with me-tv 0.8.7

I'm setting the Ubuntu bug to invalid. This is not the version of Me TV that is in Ubuntu.

Now, I did change a timeout value recently but I thought that there was a separate one for DVB-S, you are DVB-S, right?

I might have to revert that change.

strength signal >60%

i am not sure but i think i am DVB-t (Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial)

Do you have an antenna? I think that you might be DVB-T, assuming that you are French.

I put that setting back to 5 seconds instead of 2 seconds. Hope that helps in the next release. There's still a major issue with data storage. New added scheduled recordings seem to clobber old ones, same with channels. When I sort that out, I'll release the next version. 0.8.7 is really stable, 0.8.8-0.8.9 are really only trying to resolve that performance issue in Jaunty's sqlite version.

If you're having issues, go back to 0.8.7, I know that it can lock up for 2 minutes at a time but it really should be an initial thing as it saves the EPG events. Once all the EPG events are in the database everything should run smoothly.

I chose to help by testing me-tv versions and reporting issues.

with > 80% reception, issue will appear again?

Indeed, I just assume that everyone is trying to use the application rather than help make it better. That is my failing, but I'm very happy that you're here to help.

Really, it's just a word of warning for 0.8.8-0.8.9 users that the application is somewhat unstable after the performance fix for Jaunty. I've been running 0.8.7 for weeks without issue (or complaint from my wife).

Do you know how to build from bzr? I have a fix for this specific issue in revision 423 but I can't release it until I get the other stuff working. You could confirm this for me.

sorry i don't know ... But if you explain to me i probably build from bzr

i build package with revision 423...

in a first time, it seems better.

Good for you.
