I thought, testing the DEC3000-s by setting up a Windows box shouldn't take that long. Silly me. First though, I tried to follow your suggestions. I tuned to a channel with a frequency below the 11700MHz barrier: # szap -a 0 -c channels_byname.conf arte reading channels from file 'channels_byname.conf' zapping to 90 'arte': sat 0, frequency = 10743 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, vpid = 0x0191, apid = 0x0192 sid = 0x7034 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST failed: Operation not supported DMX_SET_PES_FILTER failed (PID = 0x0191): 110 Connection timed out DMX_SET_PES_FILTER failed (PID = 0x0192): 110 Connection timed out status 1f | signal fffe | snr fffe | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fffe | snr fffe | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fffe | snr fffe | ber fffffffe | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK ^C Then, I wrote a new start file # Astra 19.2E SDT info service transponder # freq pol sr fec S 10743800 H 22000000 5/6 and tried scanning with that # scan -a1 -x0 -t1 Astra-19.2E_low | tee channels.conf scanning Astra-19.2E_low using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0' initial transponder 10743800 H 22000000 5 >>> tune to: 10743:h:0:22000 DVB-S IF freq is 993800 0x0000 0x7031: pmt_pid 0x0000 ARD -- EinsExtra (running) 0x0000 0x7032: pmt_pid 0x0000 ARD -- EinsFestival (running) 0x0000 0x7033: pmt_pid 0x0000 ARD -- EinsPlus (running) 0x0000 0x7034: pmt_pid 0x0000 ARD -- arte (running) 0x0000 0x7035: pmt_pid 0x0000 ARD -- Phoenix (running) Network Name 'ASTRA' >>> tune to: 12070:h:0:27500 DVB-S IF freq is 1470500 start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 >>> tune to: 11797:h:0:27500 DVB-S IF freq is 1197500 start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010 >>> tune to: 11719:h:0:27500 DVB-S IF freq is 1119500 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010 >>> tune to: 12031:h:0:27500 DVB-S IF freq is 1431500 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000 WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010 >>> tune to: 12460:h:0:27500 DVB-S IF freq is 1860500 start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out start_filter:1350: ERROR: ioctl DMX_SET_FILTER failed: 110 Connection timed out ^CERROR: interrupted by SIGINT, dumping partial result... dumping lists (5 services) Done.

I installed Hauppauge dec218c, the latest software I could find, on a Windows 2000 box. I got a nice picture, despite the USB bottleneck, and I could tune to any channel, regardless of the 11700MHz frequency barrier. Doesn't that suggest that the DEC3000-s is ok and that the problems are caused by a Linux driver bug?
