I don't know if I ever tested that feature under 0.22. However, a quick test just now on my 0.22 mythtv test box confirms it - yes, the scanner in 0.22 behaves exactly the same. However - looking at /var/log/messages after the test, I see this: Apr 8 18:42:09 kg-quiet kernel: tuner: tv freq set to 48.25 Apr 8 18:42:09 kg-quiet kernel: tuner: tv 0x8e 0x01 0x05 0x73 Apr 8 18:42:10 kg-quiet kernel: before tuner_command!

I never submitted a PR for it because I was unhappy about the fact that in later p5-xmltv version the tv_grab_no scanner has been deprecated. > If you have any work that can > be integrated I would like to do so. Perhaps I should un-deprecate the tv_grab_no grabber with a patch then. > In the meantime i've updated the ports to MythTV 0.23 RC2 and sent all the > FreeBSD specific patches upstream.

BTW, thanks for all the hard work you put into getting the MythTV ports working in FreeBSD. Much appreciated! -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
