Hi,

I would like to point out that -for some time now, at least half a year- there is an error in the tvserver application.
When I try to add an analog channel and forget to specify the 'source', which is null by default, SQLServer errors, but the error is not noticed by the application.

This is pretty annoying. Just when I thought I had added 37 analog channels....

Of course, we all know the source of the error; in the definition of table TUNINGDETAILS, almost every column has the NOT NULL attribute set.

The easiest way to overcome this IHMO is to set the application default to 'Antenna' when adding a channel. Or anything else for that matter.

The more sophisticated way would be to check for errors after each and every database operation.

Just my $0,02.
