Hi, I have the Hauppauge HVR-1800 that I am trying to get setup. I can get the tuner to work on NTSC analog with my local cable provider (Cox Communications - Phoenix, AZ). I am trying to get the ATSC/QAM tuner to work with Cox as well. From what I've read, I should be able to get all of the unencrypted DTV local channels from Cox but I cannot figure out how to do so. Following the steps at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device, I created the following channels.conf file: KASW-DT:537000000:QAM_256:33:36 KSAZ-DT:537000000:QAM_256:49:52 KNXV-DT:555000000:QAM_256:33:36 KPHO-DT:555000000:QAM_256:49:52 KAET-DT-1:567000000:QAM_256:33:34 KPNX-DT:567000000:QAM_256:49:52 KAET-DT-2:567000000:QAM_256:67:70 I've tried running azap 'KAET-DT-2' gives: using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 567000000 Hz video pid 0x0043, audio pid 0x0046 status 00 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 015e | snr 015e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK ...

No window opens - it just sits there and nothing appears to be happening. I've also tried cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > file.mpg but the resulting file is always zero bytes. I'm running Fedora Core 9 with kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64. I built the latest drivers this evening from mercurial.
