Having just had a new aerial installed to give me a decent signal
in the computer room, I thought I'd try DVB again.
scan works, and (I think) gives me a working set of frequencies in
~/.tzap/channels.conf:
hrm@vlad:scan $ tzap "BBC One"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 489833330 Hz
status 01 | signal 3333 | snr e9e9 | ber 0000ffff | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal 3333 | snr ebeb | ber 000000aa | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 3333 | snr ebeb | ber 00000093 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
[etc]
However, attempting to do anything with dvbstream doesn't give me
much luck:
hrm@vlad:scan $ dvbstream -f 489833 -qam 16 -cr 3_4 -i 600 602 -o > /dev/null

I'm pretty sure that everything else is working:

I've had the parameters to dvbstream confirmed to me by a reliable
source (thanks, Danius!). Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong?
Oh, other details: kernel 2.4.20-ac2; dvb drivers 1.0.0-pre2;
Hauppauge Nova-T (rev unknown).
