Greetings Mike, I tried your suggestion and didn't have any success. I know there are cable signals coming over the line because two other TVs in the house (one analog and one HDTV-capable) can tune channels. If I connect to the RF-out from the digital set-top box, I can use mplayer tuned to channel 3 to watch TV but I'd like to be able to tune from the cable directly. Not sure what to try next. Here's the results of my test: paul@Kris-desktop:/media/Data/Computer/Downloads/Linux/Multimedia/w_scan-20080815$ w_scan -a0 -X > channels.conf w_scan version 20080105 -_-_-_-_ Getting frontend capabilities-_-_-_-_ -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder Nothing to scan!! dumping lists (0 services) Done. paul@Kris-desktop:/media/Data/Computer/Downloads/Linux/Multimedia/w_scan-20080815$ Paul in NW Florida > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael Krufky" <mkrufky@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Paul Guzowski" <guzowskip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Channel configuration files.... > Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 11:41:27 -0500 > > > On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 6:58 AM, Paul Guzowski <guzowskip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Greetings, > > > > Does anyone on this list have a sample channel.conf file for > > Brighthouse Networks cable or can anyone give enough information > > (frequencies, transponders, etc) so that I can try to build one? > > Thanks in advance. > > > > Paul in NW Florida > > Paul, > > You can use "scan" from dvb-apps, using the scan file, > "us-Cable-Standard-center-frequencies-QAM256" ...
