With a new kernel config and other parameters for scan I had a little bit more success: aw@debian:/usr/src/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan$ ./scan -i 0 -a 0 -f 0 -d 0 -o vdr -e 2 dvb-t/de-Berlin scanning dvb-t/de-Berlin using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 522000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 initial transponder 570000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 initial transponder 658000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 >>> tune to: 522000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 522000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: (tuning failed) ^^^^^^here the box crashed... Can somebody tell me, why that happens? Firmware for the Terratec card was not uploaded... After a second try with the same kernel and many -v's, I got this: aw@debian:/usr/src/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan$ ./scan -v -v -v -v -v -v -i 0 -a 0 -f 0 -d 0 -o vdr -e 2 dvb-t/de-Berlin scanning dvb-t/de-Berlin using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 522000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 initial transponder 570000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 initial transponder 658000000 0 2 0 1 1 2 0 >>> tune to: 522000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 522000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: (tuning failed) >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 570000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 570000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: (tuning failed) >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 658000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 658000:I0B8C23D0M16T8G8Y0:T:27500: (tuning failed) >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 >>> tuning status == 0x00 WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!

This looks better to me, because: There is no DVB signal in the air (as far as I know) and I am not in Berlin but in Munich... -Arne Discover Yahoo!
