Seems that mostly  Code rate high priority, Bandwidth and  TPID was set 
wrong. But as I didn't tune myself that's not surprising...

I was trying that before, but didn't get it working. I thought that
"usage: ./tzap [-a adapter_num] [-f frontend_id] [-d demux_id] [-c 
conf_file] [-r] <channel name>"
means i should type something like

# ./tzap -c /video/channels.conf ARD
resulting in:
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: error while parsing inversion (syntax error)

It was your hint that made me try:
./tzap -c channels.conf-dvbt-berlin c5
(of cause _that_ worked)

Is there a doc describing how to use that? I tried "man vdr", "man 5 
vdr" and the "Linux DVB API Version 3" (which seems to be for 
programmers, not for users...).

Stupid me, I first got the result after typing scan -c:

gonzo:/usr/src/vdr/DVB/apps/scan # scan -c
You already have the standard nmh directory "/root/Mail".
Do you want to use it for nmh?

(yes, shame on me, I was logged in as root...)

Well, I couldn't imagine what you guys want to tell me via Mail to my 
root...

O.k. but I found out that it would be a better idea to use ./scan  ...

btw: is there a way to find out about the strenght of the signal? I got 
two antennas and would like to know which is better and where's the 
best position.
There used to be a path "TechPath" or something, not being maintained 
for months, but does it still work with vdr 1.2.2 (I don't want to 
loose my stable VDR, so I'm afraid of trying...)


thanks again,

Hannes
