I have adapted dvbstream to allow an adaptor's string ident (e.g. "ST STV0299 DVB-S" for a Technisat SkyStar 2 DVB-S PCI card, i.e. the string which appears in dmesg when the DVB frontend is added) to be passed as the argument to '-c' instead of just the adaptor number. e.g.: dvbstream -n 4400 -o -f 10847 -p v -s 22000 -c "ST STV0299 DVB-S" -D 1 0 258 2327 2328 2329 I have three SkyStar 2 cards, a Wideview USB, AF9005 USB and AF9015 USB all in one PC, so they often are assigned to different card numbers on boot up. Using the ident string allows the device's actual adaptor number to be searched for each time. The change also allows individual cards to be addressed if you have more than one of the same type, by adding the number to the end of the string delimited by ':', e.g. "ST STV0299 DVB-S:1" means the second SkyStar card, even if it is at card number 4 with the first being at card number 1 (with other devices in between). I need this because each card has a different LNB configuration, e.g. one has a diseqc switch. Fortunately the ordering of the PCI cards stays the same relative to each other, even if they aren't always assigned the same adaptor number. The code is a total hack but if it helps then I can publish it, perhaps it could even migrate into MythTV etc. There are various other hacks I've added to dvbstream, e.g. to avoid the consequences of constantly changing PID assignments (as happens sometimes for the BBC and ITV in the UK) you can specify a channel name, e.g. "BBC 2 England" and have dvbstream discover the PIDs in the same way as 'scan -c'. HTH, Tim.
