I don't know what hermann meant, but different hardware copes differently with configuration file errors. One of my tuners refused Melbourne's digital channel 7 even though the other worked - until Kaffeine's configuration was corrected, then they both worked.

I think that the important change was guard interval (in Kaffeine) from 1/8 to auto. The nearest thing that I can find that looks like an authoritative source about what Australian broadcasters were using in 2003 is <http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=120> which says that the correct guard interval is 1/16, but it also says that things can change. > > Do you want any information about the remote? > > I'd certainly be interested.
