[linux-dvb] cannot tune any channel with DVB-c

[Achim_Lange@t-online.de (Achim Lange)]

Hello,

I had a running setup with a DVB-s card (hauppauge) and just exchanged it with a DVB-c from Siemens. changed also channel.conf for VDR and /root/.dvbrc (don't think they matter, was just a last try). Originally I had the card inserted with the analog-tuner plugged in, but also tried without.
It does not tune into any channel while loading the driver, nor is VDR able to tune into any channel.

3 days ago, it worked for 1/2 hour, but since then (and before) just a black screen with the (C) and when starting vdr the osd of vdr. I am getting out of ideas, what to try. Is there additional parameters or conf-files needed? Probably I got completely stupid and don't see the forest because of all those trees :(

Can anybody please try to help me out? Thanks in advance,

Ciao,
