I'm asking, because when I use a roof antenna, I receive BBC 1 at 505833, while when I use the in-wall provided signal, which goes through at least one amplifier, I receive it at 506000, although most programs try to re-tune to 505833, since the signal apparently contains information to ask them to do so. (I don't know the correct terminology for this). So I'm suspecting that you see the same as I do in regards to offset. I haven't been able to receive the test transmissions from the in-wall signal though. What exact parameters are you using to receive it? -- Torgeir Veimo <torgeir@xxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
