[olug] mythbackend.log filling with errors... :(

[Dan Linder]

I'm slowly getting my Mythbuntu system up and running.  I bough a
cheap ($12.00) indoor antenna at Menards to see what I can get, and
the HD stations looked pretty good - and that is with my antenna
mounted on the ceiling in the basement.  But, one thing is causing me
some concern...

While watching TV last night, my family noticed that the HDD was being
hit fairly consistently for ~15-20 minutes at a time.  Tonight I
tracked it down to entries being added to the mythbackend.log file of
this sort:

I did a Google search of the "Could not find channel" and "in TVCT"
and I found a number of hits.  Unfortunately they are all people
asking the same sort of question.

One thread suggested re-scanning as the solution... I have just done
that so now it's a waiting game.

Questions:
1: What is the error message trying to tell me?  I haven't grep'ed the
source to look for the source, but the output is lacking in a reason
for it being generated.

2: Any other MythTV users seeing the same problem?

Thanks,
Dan
