Thanks NOT A DRIVER ISSUE! The output from azap indicates that everything is working properly... Your problem is in your mythtv setup -- I cant help you with that here, it's off-topic.... There's a mythtv-users mailing list - you can ask for help there. Meanwhile, here's a way to test your card... you already have azap running.... keep it running, but be sure to use the -r parameter: azap WABC_HD -r ... It should report : FE_HAS_LOCK ... do not kill it... Open up another shell, and run: mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 -cache 8192 -framedrop This will show the stream on your screen..... (use man mplayer to learn about the other command-line arguments -- you do not need to use -cache 8192 or -framedrop, but these are needed on some slower systems) This WILL work.... (unless you dont have mplayer installed) Cheers, Mike Krufky
