No getting out datas from the card...

i'm have some errors in the stream?

As far as I remember (but I may be wrong)

BER is bit error rate (a measure of errors on the total of data received)
UNC is uncorrectable errors

you can try

dvbstream -o 3031 3032 > file.ts

and then ^C after few seconds

then
ls -la file.ts


is there data in file.ts?

if so you can try this with the new mplayer (that patched by me)


mplayer file.ts


or

dvbstream -o 3031 3032 | mplayer -

without -ps


If something comes out of the card (and into "file.ts"), then it's in
MPEG-TS
format, which the patched mplayer can read without transformation to
MPEG-PS




and the mplayer:

The driver complie and loadable without any problem

I'm get the dvbstream cvs from sourceforge and complie without any problem

I'm create any devices by the "makedev.napi" script from the DVB/drivers

This is the dvbstream output

[root@sirius-21 bin]# dvbstream -o -ps -f 12699 -p v -s 22000 3031 3032

I try to szap but not working:

FE_HAS_LOCK means I HAVE THE LOCK ON THE FREQUENCY, so your card is
successfully tuned;

now you should be able run

dvbstream -o -ps 3031 3032 | mplayer -

and see some output, admitting that program is not scrambled
