[vdr] Re: Problem with DVB-C

[Karlheinz.Pischke@t-online.de (Karlheinz Pischke)]

I've installed dvb-0.9-2001117 with a DVB-C
It works for me.

Initially I have not seen any picture, too.
The channel.conf.cable is a bit longish for e.g. Munich's
cable net. I have switched channels till I found the real
channels I can receive. It took me about 40-times switching
till I found the first ...

Anyone interested in my channel.conf ? Then send an email to
kh@pischke.net (probably will respond next Saturday)
