V6.1.4 tunes wrong sub channels

I just installed the V6.1.4 Release Candidate. I am still having the same tuning problems where the wrong sub channel is tuned.

The local PBS station has 2 subchnnels at night, 22.1 and 22.2. During the day they have channels 22.1, 22.3, 22.4, and 22.5. Sage can't handle the dynamic channel change.

They have know about this problem for several versions now. I even got the output of a transport stream analyzer and sent it to Quan to show him the problem.

Hi,

I'm having what sounds like it might be a related problem under 6.3.10 for Linux with my PBS affiliate, which also shuts off the HD channels during non-primetime hours. Do you know if this ever got resolved in the Windows version of SageTV?

Thanks,

Drew

Lucky you.. I contacted the station, and their broadcast engineer told me that when a station is "inactive", the "tricklestream" message they play saying "we'll be back at 8pm" has no audio and that is probably what confuses Sage. Eg:

I haven't yet gotten a response from the help request I sent. I guess they are serious about 72 hours..
