Hello all, Have received my Hauppauge Nova-T card, but as it is of the newer one with a Conexant chipset, I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work, and got the kernel driver to work, then followed Martin Smith's excellent DVB howto (http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/) - but am stuck at one point, and I can't google for the solution as there's no error message! I would like to see what I'm doing wrong... I am using Debian Sid with the 2.6.11 kernel, with the default debian config file but patched with http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.11-2/All-2.6.11.diff.gz and all the DVB options selected. The kernel compiles fine and the module loads without any problems. I've used scan to create my channel.conf file, and here's the snippet for BBC1: BBC ONE:778166670:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1__32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601:4161 then tried tzap "BBC ONE" and got: piers@desire:~$ tzap "BBC ONE" using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 778166670 Hz video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259 status 00 | signal ffff | snr c000 | ber 00003fff | unc 00000000 | status 01 | signal 3737 | snr c000 | ber 00003fff | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal 3737 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 3737 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK piers@desire:~$ So it works just fine. So that's everything I've done everything in his guide right up until to this point: ==================================== The last two numbers are the IDs of the video and audio stream within the multiplex. We also need the transmission parameters to feed to dvbstream. The command I would use for the channel above is this: # dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - ==================================== So I try: dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - I have used 600 and 601 as my line seemed similar to Martin's example, but my line had an extra set of numbers at the end - 4161 - I've also tried the following: dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 601 4161 | mplayer - but the output from tzap - "video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259" - does seem to suggest 600 and 601 are the right numbers. Anyway, trying "dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -" outputs: ==================================== piers@desire:~$ dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - dvbstream v0.5 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks very much for your help in advance Cheers - Piers
