I did some tests and results were not encouraging. There is only 1 freq for the channels here. Each time the channels were detected the channels were the correct ones. w_scan output: w_scan version 20060902 Info: using DVB adapter auto detection. Found DVB-T frontend.

After the first scan I run the "w_scan_start.sh" to get the channels.conf file. After I got the channels.conf file (which I checked to see if it's ok) then after each scan I did I tried xine and mplayer(v4l,v4l2,dvb..). Mplayer is latest svn snapshot and xine-lib is 1.1.4 (tried latest cvs too). $mplayer dvb:// MPlayer dev-SVN-r22784-3.4.6 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ (Family: 15, Model: 43, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2 Playing dvb://. dvb_tune Freq: 690000 Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency, timeout: 30 dvb_tune, TUNING FAILED ERROR, COULDN'T SET CHANNEL 0: Failed to open dvb://. Exiting... (End of file) I had no luck with xine either. Through the entire process I watched with tail -f: /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog /var/log/debug Each time I did a scan / used mplayer those 2 lines appeared at syslog and messages: kernel: tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock kernel: tda1004x: found firmware revision 29 -- ok /var/log/debug was quite even at Scan7. I don't have in my kernel any general debug option if that is needed. Hartmut thanks for the help and I am open to suggestions to make dvb-t work with this card. Just to say here that my card is "rev d1" according to lspci whereas the lspci on the wiki reports a "rev d0" card. PS: The config file that I used with scan(linux-dvb-apps) was: T 690000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM16 8k 1/16 NONE or T 690000000 8MHz 3/4 3/4 QAM16 8k 1/16 NONE **Hope this message doesn't deliver 2 times due to misconfigure. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
