[linux-dvb] Success! (Was RE: Re: Problems with Nebula DigiTV & Linux)

["greg" <greg.wickham@grangenet.net>]

Hi Chris & Darren,

Almost there! I've managed to figure out how to scan (using scan from
the DVB cvs) and have:

SC10 Canberra:177500000:...
WIN TV Canberra:219499776:...
PRIME Canberra:226500000:...
SBS HD:543500000:...
SBS DIGITAL 1:...
SBS DIGITAL 2:...
SBS EPG:543500000:...
SBS RADIO 1:543500000:...
SBS RADIO 2:543500000:...

However the ABC isn't detected. I know it is there as under windows it
can be received fine.

Using the command "./tzcap -r -c dvbt.cfg 'WIN TV Canberra'" the tuning
appears to work. Using mplayer 1.0-pre1 on /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 I can
get video! No audio yet, but that's an alsa/oss problem.

I did find thou that the snr and ber doesn't seem to reflect reality.
And interestingly enough once a station is tuned if the aerial is
disconnected and reconnected then tzap needs to be restarted.

[root@teevee szap]# ./tzap -c dvbt.cfg 'WIN TV Canberra'
