Hi, You need to supply the -r option to czap to set up /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 for TS recording. This seems not to be documented for czap (czap -h) but is for tzap and szap (se szap -h). However, the option seems to be present in the source code for czap. So something like: peterr-alfa2 ~ # czap -r "RTL 5" and then in another window (while still running czap in the first): peterr-alfa2 ~ # cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /data/test.ts Hope this helps.
