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:
