Hi All I am new to DVB, and have just purchased a TechniSat SkyStar 2 card. It's running on kernel 2.6.11 with some gentoo patches. I have checked out and built dvb-apps from today. I am able to use szap to tune and get a lock: calculon root # szap -r -n 13 reading channels from file '/root/.szap/channels.conf' zapping to 13 'BBC THREE': sat 0, frequency = 10773 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 0x0000 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 03 | signal bbc7 | snr 9180 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal be1b | snr d9e0 | ber 00000155 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK However, nothing seems to come out of /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. I can cat it, dd it, and run dvb-mpegtools_main on it and get nothing at all. Commands like dvbdat, dvbscan and dvbtraffic work fine, but then I don't need the "-r" flag for them. If I run "strace" against the szap processes, I can see that it doesn't even attempt to open /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 but then that could be usual, I just do not know. Does anyone have any ideas? I am in the UK, pointing at Astra is that makes any difference. Thanks! James
