If that's the case, FreeToAir is easy to test withTwinhan, but not scrambled channel ... I'll let anyone explain why, I don't have much experience in that domain to give you the correct explanations To test FTA, check out dvb-apps directory from CVS, then use dvbscan (util/scan) to get the channels file to give to szap (util/szap) I can't explain everything about dvbscan and szap but you should manage making it work ;) (don't forget -r option of szap, then vlc - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0, or any player you like) Hope this'll help if you had not find yet by yourself -- CAND Frederic EPITA GISTR 2005 ANEVIA
