OK, I did a couple of experiments to check whether at least something works with this card: 1. I used mplayer to play some video content. Picture and sound works flawlessly. 2. I played around with different antennas and scan and dvbtune ... never ever did I see a channel lock... So tuning does not work. However when I use a 'Zimmerantenne' + pointing it to certain directions the signal becomes at least non-zero... (1c1c to 1f1f instead of 0000). I also noted that it has to antenna inputs (I guess the other one is for radio) but even when connecting two antennas, one to each input I could not get any signal... Any further ideas what I could try? Soeren _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
