Hi: I can't get scandvb to find that many channels with my USB DVB-T HVR. My environment: Redhat FC5, Linux stock 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 kernel, Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900, Installed exactly as per http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Em2880#Installation I'm using a roof-top arial in NW London that works fine with a normal Freeview STB. The HVR finds all channels it should when using Windows, but when I try it in Linux it only finds a very few. I beleive my drivers are bang up to date, please correct me if I'm wrong. When I try: scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace I get: scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 505833333 0 3 9 1 0 0 0 >>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 505833333:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_AUTO:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! ERROR: initial tuning failed dumping lists (0 services) Done. When I try: scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/uk-Oxford I get a few channels but not as many as I expected (see end of post for details) The only way I could get it to work was to edit the scandvb initial-tuning-data-file and plug the frequencies from the Windows scan into it one-by-one. This eventually found all the channels it should. The frequencies I used were: 482000000, 506000000, 530000000, 538000000, 562000000, 578000000 What am I doing wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- scandvb results: scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/uk-Oxford using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 578000000 0 2 9 3 0 0 0 >>> tune to: 578000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE 0x0000 0x5640: pmt_pid 0x02bd Sky -- Sky News (???) 0x0000 0x5680: pmt_pid 0x02be Sky -- Sky Spts News (???) 0x0000 0x56c0: pmt_pid 0x02bf Sky -- SKY THREE (???) 0x0000 0x5700: pmt_pid 0x02c0 UKTV -- UKTV History (???) 0x0000 0x5740: pmt_pid 0x02c1 Channel 4 TV -- E4+1 (???) 0x0000 0x5780: pmt_pid 0x02cc Square1 Management Ltd -- smileTV (???) 0x0000 0x5840: pmt_pid 0x02c2 talkSPORT -- talkSPORT (???) 0x0000 0x59c0: pmt_pid 0x02c8 London Christian Radio Ltd -- Premier Radio (???) 0x0000 0x5a00: pmt_pid 0x02c9 Score Digital -- 3C (???) 0x0000 0x5c40: pmt_pid 0x02cb yoomedia -- YooPlay Games (???) 0x0000 0x5c80: pmt_pid 0x02cd Sky -- Sky Text (???)
