hello, i received my first tv card this week. I struggled the week to find out the way to make it to work, through google and finally linux-dvb. I installed kernel linux-2.6.11 and did a "cvs dvb-kernel" compiled the stuff and ./insmod load I have a disecq dish and a switch in between, which is mainly used to extend length of cable. Everything seems to work fine on windows. I did a scan which provided channels of hotbird, and then tried szap to select channel and "cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mencoder fo lavc and mplayer. it worked once or twice but most of the time it did not. I tried to find some ":h:22000" channels but couldn't find those on hotbird channels list, the one provided by "scan". I also tried "./check.sh" wich calls dvbtune, but no success. szap / mplayer doesn't look reliable, and dvbtune doesn't seem to work. On the box, it says : LNB input type F, input Frequency 950 to 2150 MHz ; RF input power from -65 to -25 dBm ; band C & Ku, LNB 14 / 18V / OFF, max 400 mA ; 22KHz band switch control (DiSEqC 1.0) ; Symbol Rate from 1 to 45 MS/s I can provide pictures upon request... Wish you the best dudes :) p
