Bug #1326
Can't find service names and channel numbers
100%
Description
Ubuntu 12.04 server i386
HTS Tvheadend 3.1.769~g4303374~precise
Installed form the beta ppa.
Using a previous version I compiled directly after this change: https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/repository/revisions/426ee1c03d70f5c8025fd474c51ef1adf33cbded , tvheadend was able to tune to 370 services, all of them showed with a service name in the services tab, clicking on "Map DVB Services to Channels" was correctly mapping all the 370 services to the correct channle number, inferred from the SID (i think).
Yesterday I wanted to test the latest ppa build, I deleted the compiled one, removed the .hts folder in my home, then added the repository and installed tvheadend, it correctly created an hts user, under which it started the daemon, I tried to access the web page, but it asked me a login information I didn't know, I reconfigured the package and it asked me to create a user, now I'm able to access the web config, then went to Confiuration -> TV Adapters, selected mine, then added dvb by location (it_All), it started to tune, and I suddenly noticed that on the Services tab, all the services it was finding were without a service name, I let the system complete the tuning, and watched again the Services found, there were 370 services, of which just about two dozen with a name, all from the same provider, then when I clicked on "Map DVB Services to Channels", it just listed in the channels page those few services with a name and all without a channel number (thus XBMC was listing just those few channels and all with a messy numbering).
I even tried to click on the new "Use SID as channel number during mapping:" selection in the general tab and saved it, deleted all the multiplexes, readded them and after the new scan, I again clicked on "Map DVB Services to Channels" and it behaved exactly in the wrong way described earlier.
Thanks.

I don't know if it's related, but the "Use SID as channel number during mapping:" is not kept on reboots, I mean: if I check it, then save, then reboot the computer or "sudo stop tvheadend ; sudo start tvheadend", going back to the config page, it's showed as if it's not checked.

- Category set to DVB
- Status changed from New to Accepted
I believe this is probably related to the addition of onid tracking and it causing problems with existing systems and possibly completely breaking dvb-t (though this is unconfirmed).
I will probably pull these commits from 3.2 until I have time to properly review them.

I can confirm the very same behavior that Gabriele Tassoni described above. I'm using a Gigabyte U7300 DVB-T tuner under Ubuntu 12.04. I installed Tvheadend from your PPA. Services get discovered without stating their names. Provider names also remains undetected. v3.0 works well. I'm living in Hungary.

Please can you confirm this problem still exists with beta5 3.1.773.

my setup is using servers with 6 skystar2-s each connected with vtunerd, last git version has exactly the same behaviour when scanning.
There are multiplexes with signal ok, services, but no service names when scanning.
An older version works as supposed ie the servicenames do appear during scanning and everything ok.
Any hints?

Exact same behavior with ATSC HDHR Prime - not a single service name appears on the services page.
