Hello André !

Thank you the fast reply, but i'm not found the "watch_dvb" on this
location. Please write me the where found this script.
I try to complie the szap from the DVB project, but i have some errors.

[root@sirius-21 szap]# ./szap -n 066
reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 'LA CINQUIEME':
sat 0, frequency = 12207 MHz V, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x00a0, apid
= 0x0050
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 03 | signal 005a | snr 0000 | ber 00000c46 | unc 0000ffff |

status 00 | signal 0057 | snr 0000 | ber 000045b4 | unc 0000ffff |

... and so to...

The dvbstream not compile with this errors:
