I've tried a few versions of the DVB driver and VDR. Using various
pre-NEWSTRUCT drivers with VDR 1.1.13 works well. Using the
linux-dvb.2003-04-27 DVB driver from the VDR Developer FTP site + VDR
1.1.29 (similarly for some earlier versions of VDR and earlier
NEWSTRUCT drivers) gives the following behaviour using a Nova-T card
in the UK:
* tuning into BBC1 works well
* tuning into BBC2, BBC3 and BBC NEWS24 (on the same multiplex)
rarely locks on
* tuing to BBC4 which is on another multiplex works well
* BBC radio stations work well
* other channels usually work well, though I've seem some odd
behaviour after VDR has difficulty locking onto a BBC multiplex

Any clues as to what I should try next? Are other people having
similar problems?

- Simon

I use the same versions of VDR and drivers as you but I have no such problems.
There may be differences (apart from frequency!) in the channels.conf
but I don't have mine here at work. I do know that I have 0 instead
of the 27500 field and in the third field I don't have the D12 part - IRRC
Sorry I don't have any better suggestions.

Sim
