[mythtv] Possible argument issue in GetCurrentChannelNum()

I have just been upgraded to 0.21 by the atrpms repository. So far the
upgrade has been quite bumpy, but I have come across what was for a
while a showstopper. The capture card in charge of my Sky Box would no
longer record anything. The issue seemed to be that it couldn't tune to
the initial channel:
Channel(/dev/video0) Error: GetCurrentChannelNum(106): Failed to find
Channel(/dev/video0)::TuneTo(106): Error, failed to find channel.
I suspect there might be a bit of a confusion in
On closer inspection of the source code around this error message I am
wondering if there is a confusion around channel number and channel name.
It is declared with a QString argument called "name"
The "name" argument is compared with curList[i].name
However, it is called from Channel::TuneTo with a QString called
"channum" which appeared to be derived from the channel number.
I eventually got round it by firing up mythtv-setup on the machine
hosting the card for the Sky box. Running down to "Input Connections".
Selecting the connection relevant to the Sky box and blanking out the
box "Preset tuner to channel". Once the backend was restarted, the
problem went away.
I hope this proves useful.
