Would using another transponder work? I though it was tied to your available transmitter(s) and I'm pretty sure Blackhill is the only one I get - certainly it's the only one that the settop box picks up. >> 2) DVB support in Linux does not really work in the UK - as the software >> is no doubt developed in the US/Europe then it is keyed to their >> particular broadcast systems and there is no hard support for the UK. >> > > what the difference in the UK ? > DVB-T is very recent in France and it worked without any issue (excepted > with the hauppauge and linux 2.6.10-2.6.11) > Now that is the 10 million euro question - I do not know. I'm not a televisual engineer so know nothing about the differences in broadcast systems but I'm pretty sure most countries have their various standards. I may be off the mark but I think even slight differences in the standards means a receiver from Country A won't work in Country B. Without sounding rude (sorry but this does) but doesn't France have a particularly....erm....unique television broadcast system - as in no-one apart from France uses anything even vaguely like it? Anyway, the main thing is it works for someone in Linux - although my rather UK Centric question still stands....as you suggest, Brice, I'll give a go mucking about with the frequency tables if I can get something out of Windows. Many thanks for the response Hugo
