Hi u all :) After three days of trying, readings, re-trying, I think it's time to ask for some help ;) I'm running a Gentoo, kernel 2.6.9 , and I'm trying to get my hauppauge DVBs card running, using CAM interface and the canalsat card. Everything seems to be OK : I managed to get a channels.conf with scan, and here is what I get when I run szap : ***************************************************************** reading channels from file '/home/jf/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/szap/channels.conf' zapping to 5 'TF1': sat 0, frequency = 11534 MHz H, symbolrate 30000000, vpid = 0x00a4, apid = 0x0060 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' status 01 | signal 6464 | snr 8080 | ber 00028d5c | unc ffffffff | status 1f | signal 7a7a | snr 7f7f | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 7c7c | snr 7e7e | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 07 | signal 7c7c | snr 7d7d | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | status 1f | signal 7b7b | snr 7c7c | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 7b7b | snr 7c7c | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 7c7c | snr 8080 | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 7c7c | snr 8080 | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 7a7a | snr 7c7c | ber 00194790 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK ***************************************************************** but here (Mauritius), there is no FTA channel, all of them are scrambled. And, as I can't get any video, using xawtv, vdr or any player, I think the CAM interface is not up ! The tuner and the CAM are working well with windows, and I had them working on Gentoo kernel 2.4 a few months ago. Could any of you give me some advice, I really want to make it work :). Thanks a lot , JF Here is a part of dmesg command output : ***************************************************************** eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 Linux video capture interface: v1.00 saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.
