I've tried a multitude of channels and currently I just get a blank screen using mplayer/xine/myth etc and apparently no signal. Snr, ber and unc are always reported as 0. If there is anything else I can do to test / help debug I'll be glad to give it a go. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the way I extracted the firmware (which I loaded in /lib/firmware) .. Quote from: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg22085.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can't post the actual firmware for the part. However, if you need the firmware for the HVR-4000 under Linux... ftp://167.206.143.11/outgoing/Oxford/88x_2_117_24275_1_INF.zip Extract the zip and grab the firmware with dd: dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=dvb-fe-cx24116.fw skip=81768 bs=1 count=32522 Regards, Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for any assistance you can provide Will W _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
