Description

Hi,

I have a Hauppauge WinTV Ministick HD (based on a siano chipset). apparently this card has a 32 PID filter limit.
When TVHeadEnd starts, it immediately connects to all services found under the MUX and takes up all 32 PIDs.
When trying to watch a channel I get:
_dev_dvb_adapter0_Siano_Mobile_Digital_MDTV_Receiver514000000_0002" unable to open demuxer "/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0" for pid 2609 -- Too many open files
Now, most of the channles (28) are RADIO channels which I really don't care, but simply disabling them does not resolve the issue.
Is there any way to stop TVHeadEnd from connecting to them?

P.S.
lsof | grep demux shows the following:

I thought that since this is covered elsewhere, that it is already resolved. after trying the latest GIT, I'm encountering the same issue, and cannot watch anything....
Care to point me as to where this is covered?

Sorry I was going through a lot of issues and was being lazy about putting refs to other issues. This issue #194, is basically the same problem.
