A couple of questions: - By the "original scan file", do you mean the channels.conf file described at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Zap ? If so, what might be wrong with it, in particular the au-Adelaide file? I've had no trouble with it with the DVICO Fusion cards. - What's "tda10046 safe"? In particular, what values do you think might be incorrect? How would one go about establishing what's wrong? > Usually, if using "scan" from mercurial dvb-apps, it is best to set > all to AUTO there except freq. and bandwidth.

This card (if it's the one I'm thinking of) looks like being the cheapest locally available DVB-T card, so it would be nice to get good support for it.
