I was just a bit thick-sculled wrt. how it was _supposed_ to work in the first place. A newbie like me might suppose just firing up gnomeradio would give some sound, but reading some documention first is never a bad idea. > The radio misses signal strength and stereo detection, so autotuning > doesn't work yet, but sound should be perfect with the above. Actually, I think fmscan from fmtools gave me valid channels - if that's what you mean. > The bundled rabbit ears antenna is very poor in a room with known bad > reception conditions here, even for strong stations I had to adjust it > per station, but with the DVB-T roof antenna and radio from cable-tv it > has totally clear sound. I'm using antenna cable. But I do have low signal, since I have a few splitters. The crackling sound just _sounded_ like something else than poor signal (it was more like some electric interfence in computer case.) But now that I paid more attention to it, the artifact does not appear on all channels, so I guess it must be poor signal after all. That would make sense. The arecord|play going out of sync on the other hand was definetely something else. Restarting the arecord| playh pipeline without touching gnomeradio fixed it. Probably somekind of alsa problem. > The bundled DVB-T antenna is unusable for radio, it produces distortions > and whistling noise.

To tell you the truth I also have Hauppauge WinTV Nova, and I still haven't managed to configure its remote either. I have an *old* serial ir remote receiver that works fine - but the remote is broken :). But I'll try to find the time to test the saa7134 remote at some point, > To avoid using radio first in order to get the FM/RF input active for > DVB-T, you could either use the cable-tv antenna input for it or apply > the patch I previously linked to. Oh, does the the dvb work with either input? I didn't realize that. I have both connected to same splitted antenna cable (radio and analog tv both work), but dvb only seems to work after using fm radio. I'll try the patch.
