You're not saying anything about input types and the switch type. Are you sure that are properly connected ? How the switch inputs are marked and from where you got the input signals ? Please elaborate, if you want a proper answer. I suggest to play with 'scandvb' from dvb-apps package instead of Kaffeine. Look into scanning results if the scanned channels match with what you wished to have on those positions. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
