status 1f | signal aede | snr b7ae | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b038 | snr b850 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b03e | snr b7a5 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b036 | snr b784 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal adc2 | snr b751 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal aec1 | snr b760 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

but i suppose that with tazview now i must see something, but...
tuxview
No video4linux device found
i made a link from /dev/video999 to /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
tuxview -d 999
