Hello, quoting Matthias Thomae from his June 20th posting <http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-June/010998.html>: > In short, viewing DVB-T channels from the ARD bouquet (the lowest > transmission band, I think) works very well with my CinergyT2 (SNR > ~70-75% according to femon), but when switching back and forth between > this bouquet and others, sooner or later locking is 'lost'.

A quite interesting detail is that I had trouble switching back to ARD with vlc, but *not* with kaffeine. Kaffeine worked just fine from the beginning. I never tried vdr. Usually, the symptom with vlc was that I had to switch to one of ARD's channels (Das Erste, arte, Phoenix, EinsPlus) as the *first* station after plugging in the T2, otherwise switching to it from another frequency would fail. After a great deal of experimenting, I found an astonishingly simple fix: *Get a better antenna!* As soon as I connected a better antenna, switching back and forth between channels worked fine in vlc. My antenna looks like this (more or less): <http://www.yucel.de/max/DVB-Zim.Ant.jpg> I noticed that (like me) you seem to live in Munich. I suspect that the ARD bouquet's signal might be weaker than the others; maybe it isn't broadcast from the Olympiaturm, or it is broadcast with less power. Still, it is weird that kaffeine works fine. Judging from this, the T2's behaviour could probably be improved.
