I tried a different USB port and the device was recognized. My battle is now with me-tv. Its scan doesn't find anything. The scan program from v4l finds channels, but me-tv complains "There's an invalid channel record in the channels.conf file". If I put the v4l scan channels.conf in my .me-tv directory, me-tv complains that the file is not utf-8 encoded. Always another barrier. :-) As Steve suggests, I'll start specific HVR-950Q threads for additional issues. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
