Dear Linux DVB developers, I've been trying to get DVB-C working on my system, meanwhile with multiple DVB-C cards (KNC1 and Technotrend budget cards), with their CI counterparts, and Alphacrypt CAM, so far unfortunately without success. In my trial-and-error path I've encountered a possible bug in the linuxtv dvb-drivers. Apparently, it's possible to get accepted by the kernel a symbol rate of zero, causing a divide by zero error. This is valid for (Debian) kernels 2.6.18-4, 2.6.22-3, and 2.6.23-1. $ dvbstream -f 388000000 -s 0 -o > test.mpg dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL.
