Re: Record a transport stream with an USB2 tv card

Abdou,

Thanks for the changes. What version of dvbstream are these against? I have 
got the 0.5 sources and cannot access www.linuxstb.org for any later versions 
due to DNS errors.

Having rebuilt dvbstream, I get the following problem marked by <=====:

./dvbstream -f 505833330 -o:/home/john/tmp/test.ts 600 601
dvbstream v0.5 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004
Released under the GPL.
Latest version available from http://www.linuxstb.org/
Open file /home/john/tmp/test.ts
Using DVB card "DiBcom 3000P/M-C DVB-T"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to -972810928 Hz                    <=====

FE_STATUS:

FE_STATUS:

FE_STATUS:

FE_STATUS:

FE_STATUS:

... and the process can only be stopped with kill -9.

So, I have changed the following line in dvbstream.c

        freq=atoi(argv[i]); // JWRM *1000UL;

and then get:

./dvbstream -f 505833330 -o:/home/john/tmp/test.ts 600 601
dvbstream v0.5 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004

... and so on until kill -9.  Both times, I get a zero-length file.

Any ideas?  Anything to do with having an Athlon 64, perhaps?
