i have a very strange problem with my dvb card! the analog modul works fine with xawtv (i can watch analog channels), but DVB always fails... if i am running analog-xawtv and start ./scan ./dvbtune ./cscan the screen turns black (so it seems that the DVB tools are able to change the frequency), but i cannot see any tv output on my screen (even if i switch xawtv to dvb) and the sound will be turned off... i am absolut sure that the hardware is ok (works on windows) and that frequency and pids are correct (copied from a working channel, i can watch under windows and checked them more than 3*) i don't think it's important, but i use udev and not devfs (udev is setup as described in kernel dvb documentation) the devices seems to work, the drivers seems to be loaded and i use the latest firmware, but whatever i try (tried xine, mplayer, vdr, xawtv) the screen remains black! )-: so anybody out there able/willing to help me??? i don't know what else i can do/test it seems to be a driver or firmwareproblem, but maybe i made somewhere a mistake??? here are some infos that may be important: # lspci -vv 0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: Siemens Nixdorf AG Fujitsu/Siemens DVB-C card rev1.5 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B+ Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (3750ns min, 9500ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5 Region 0: Memory at dfffea00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) # dmesg Linux version 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 (gcc version 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)) Linux video capture interface: v1.00 saa7146: register extension 'dvb'. saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem d08b4a00 (revision 1, irq 5) (0x110a,0x0000).
