Post subject:  Live TV only works once after new install

If i do a fresh install of knoppmyth most things seem to go fine i can do a channel scan and after mythfrontend is started up i can watch live tv (fta and eqrypted channels) but after a reboot i cannot watch liveTV anymore.

I started mythfrontend in xterm and this is the log.

Well that bit is clearly your problem...

Does the directory /cache/cache exist? What are the ownerships and permissions? Here is what they look like on a working system:
Code:
root@black2:~# ls -al /cache/cache/
total 360300
drwxrwxr-x  2 mythtv mythtv      4096 Aug 15 21:13 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root   root        4096 Jun  4 18:28 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 mythtv mythtv 368570016 Aug 15 21:23 ringbuf1.nuv

Is there a server listening on that port?
Code:
root@black2:~# netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep 6543
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6543            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Are you getting any errors from the backend?
Code:
tail -50 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | more

This of course does not look good, but if this is true how can it be possible that Live TV is working once, after the first install.
When I go into the setup again to check things I noticed that the starting channel is disappeared.
So the question rises to me, what channel is Myth trying to tune into.
Is it possible read this someware in a log file?
If not, is it possible to force Myth to always tune into a TV channel that I know is valid. (a valid TV channel I am allowed to watch with my smartcard)

Thanks In Advance

Wim

Run mythtv-setup (key short cut Alt-S from the "penguin on a couch" desktop) it's under the Input Connections for your tuner.

I know, but after setting it to a valid number, quiting the setup and starting the frontend. Live TV does not work. After this I go into setup and the starting is dissapeard again.
