Yes, I use the DEC3000-s with ``success'', for some values of ``success''... You are probably running into the problem I had, that it does not appear to generate the 22kHz bandswitch tone normally needed to tune in what are essentially all interesting high-band transponders. I used to feed it with the loop-through output of a receiver tuned to a horizontal+hi-band transponder to enable me to receive what were then all german channels of interest to me. I'm now connected via a Multischalter; this somehow permits me to tune all bands of four sat positions successfully, without help from other hardware. If you are experiencing this problem, then you can only tune in the transponders below 11700MHz of any satellite without help -- and the starting frequency for the NIT data you quoted is not in this range. You can hand-craft an initial data file with, say, the ARD transponder at 10744MHz at 19E2, and see if that gets you a few channels (largely spanish). If you get this, then your device is ``working'', and I would have to ask, for what purpose do you intend to use it (which channels do you want to watch/record)? In particular, the USB1 bandwidth limitation prevents me from using it for other than radio, except for a handful of channels (largely commercial/private) with limited bandwidth that don't get corrupted by packet-loss -- the only german public-service broadcasts not affected are Bayern-alpha (you can not hear the AC3 5.1 channel such as on the jazz broadcast which just finished, but that is a different problem) and Suedwest-Saarland, both of which for me require either my multiswitch, or the loop-through hack. thanks, barry bouwsma _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
