Hello Marc and Ales, Good news: I have the tools up and running and can tune into several channels :-)) I even have a patched 'scan' tool that works to be able to generate a channels.conf file from scratch. Scanning channels works fine, it generates a proper channels.conf file. So, while using szap2 to tune to a channel. I noticed some things: * On a standard FTA channel (DVB-S) on Astra 19.2E, I see some distortion during watching the channel. After some time (say 10-30 seconds) the link get lost, and I do not receive any data anymore until the next tune-request with szap2. Sometimes the lock comes quick, sometimes szap2 keeps retrying until it times out. * On DVB-S2/HD channels (e.g. Arte HD) I only get sound, but that is probably because I use the wrong tools (tools not supporting DVB-S2) to read data from /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. > with szap2 you also can tune to FTA channels using the option "-p" and read > the stream from your frontend dvr (/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0) with mplayer for > example.. Can you please tell me how to do this with mplayer? Because I did not manage that with mplayer directly. Here mplayer blocks on the stream, and no audio/video is displayed.
