[linux-dvb] Re: WinTV Nova + devfs + NEWSTRUCT : No stream at all

[BrainFrog <brainfrog@gmx.de>]

Hi,
i said that tuxzap doesn't complain, thats right but now i compiled szap 
and i get strange lines, perhaps that is intended like that, but see 
yourself please:
status 1f | signal aeae | snr dfdf | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
infinite lines like that with just the values after signal and snr 
changing a bit are printed out in the console till i terminate it, is 
that like its intended?
