According to the current "tda10086 fails?" thread, I should be on some tuner for now, a tda8263, with just a minimal start up configuration. On that Hotbird 13.0E crowd is nothing with high symbol rates so far, to the few encrypted S2 transponders I have no access and they are out of any interest for me. However, your S 11766000 V 27500000 2/3 RAI stuff works without any problems here. The Mediaset 11919 V is OK too, except ITALIA 1 (at the moment) and the 11432 V is one of the few that fail for me too. Without using anything more sophisticated for now, that sat stuff is a moving target it seems. Not only all that always ongoing shuffling around, also weather conditions, some even seem to stop broadcast from time to time at all and others are sometimes encrypted and sometimes not and so on. So, interestingly, even on such a driver on bare bones for now, not only driver optimization, but simple scan file update can do a lot, brought 394 new TV and radio services for now. The road is much better paved as claimed, will have some beer now ;) Cheers, Hermann _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
