Heh.. When I couldn't get tzap to work, I read some docs and then moved 
onto dvbtune.... My dvbtune is from the debian package, so maybe that's 
why I can't get it to work.

stimpy:/usr/src/DVB/apps/szap# !head
head -1 ~/.tzap/channels.conf
BBC 
ONE:505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601 

As far as I can tell, my channels.conf should be OK... at least for "BBC 
ONE" anyhow.

stimpy:/usr/src/DVB/apps/szap# ./tzap "BBC ONE"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

Right now scan tells me... "dumping lists (o services)" at the end... so 
I guess I've still got some more work to do.

As far as I can tell, this information is still up to date...



Thanks,
