I suspect that when you were attempting to tune, all you were doing was polling from the last state the tuner was left in (whatever the tda driver's attempt to initialize it was before it crapped out)... and, as there is no driver operating further, there is no fine control over the tuner ... hence, the scan utility could instruct the frontend to check a certain frequency, but all you're getting back is crap from the tuner .... sort of like an analog radio that's in between stations and emitting static -- unless you directly manipulate/have control over the tuning knob, standing 10 feet away and verbally instructing the radio to tune this or that frequency is going to produce the same thing being emitted all along -- static. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
