Hi all, I'm new to this group and I've got a few problems. It took me quite some time to make my SAA1746 card (Hauppauge Nexus-S) work and be recognized a bit, because I had all the driver software installed in the kernel. That didn't work. Once I moved it to modules it worked. Sort of. I can get to a free-to-air channel, which I use for testing, when using dvbtune and xawtv. I can see the channel (Though I have no sound, but that's not so important for now). However, the channel turns black after a few seconds. When I relaunch dvbtume with the same parameters I get an image again. Any ideas on what's going on here? The channel is NOT encrypted. Second problem: How can I scan for channels and build a channel list? scantv doesn't work. If ends with the following display: [defaults] input = Television norm = PAL device has no tuner, exiting But the default input is DVB, not 'Television' as per: # v4lctl list attribute | type | current | default | comment -----------+--------+---------+---------+------------------------------------- norm | choice | PAL | PAL | PAL NTSC input | choice | DVB | DVB | DVB bright | int | 128 | 128 | range is 0 => 255 contrast | int | 64 | 64 | range is 0 => 127 color | int | 64 | 64 | range is 0 => 127 Horizontal | bool | off | off | Vertical f | bool | off | off | I read I could use 'vdr' to scan channels, somewhere, so I tried to start 'vdr' and I get the following. $ vdr vdr: no primary device found - using first device! There's only 1 device - yet the error value = 2, so there's some problem. I've come some way on my own, but hopefully someone can help me along a bit more, to fix some of the problems. Or at least point me to the right document that can help out. Thanks, Steven.
