I, too, wish it would > have "just worked" :) This "just worked" for me using mplayer with a digital video broadcast from my HVR-1600 with the cx18 driver (I'm in ATSC country): $ scandvb -A 1 -v -a 0 /usr/share/dvb-apps/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB \ > channels.conf $ cp channels.conf ~/.mplayer/channels.conf $ mplayer dvb://WRC-1 -vf scale=960:540 The "scandvb" command name might be a rename by Fedora/Redhat of the standard command name. I had to use the '-vf scale=960:540' to display the 1080i content on my 1024 line display. Also note that mplayer sometimes wrongly decodes a52 audio (at least from ATSC streams) so it'll gripe every so often.
