I am using Air2PC-ATSC with stock Mandrake 2.6.10 kernel and the latest dvb-kernel drivers from CVS built outside the kernel. The card works great with OTA (ATSC). I can record using dvbstream or the cat dvr0 method. Even MythTV works with it. However I can't get it to work with QAM (cable). For azap I am using the config file from http://www.digitalregime.com/patches/channels.conf-qam Using this I can get a lock on several channels, e.g.: [congo:/home/mythtv] azap -c ~/.azap/channels.conf-qam C90 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 585000000 Hz video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000 status 00 | signal fff0 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal fc20 | snr df58 | ber 00007ff8 | unc 00000010 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fc60 | snr df28 | ber 00007ff8 | unc 0000000f | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fc00 | snr de9c | ber 00007ff8 | unc 0000000f | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fc30 | snr defa | ber 00007ff8 | unc 0000000e | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fc30 | snr dfb6 | ber 00007ff8 | unc 0000000d | FE_HAS_LOCK [...] However, there is nothing else. dvbtraffic just hangs and produces no output. Here is the output I get from dvbscan and test_sections: [congo:/video/tmp] dvbscan -cvvv using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 dumping lists (0 services) Done.

It's possible that all my cable channels are encrypted but even then I was expecting to get a little farther than that (at least get the pids?). How does the output look for encrypted channnels? Anyone can help me get this working? Any farther debugging I could do? Thanks, Bolek
