I've been googling, and have played with w_scan and me-tv. Kaffeine unfortunately is qt and won't work with braille/speech, but me-tv does. So I got sighted help to scan for channels in kaffeine, the scan didn't find any channels. Next, I ran the w_scan program, and that as well failed to find any channels. Finally, I ran me-tv and that as well failed. (I selected my location for me-tv). So, how do I get w_scan or me-tv to find some channels? It's probably not worth talking about kaffeine as I won't be able to use this. I'm plugging my usb receiver into a tv connection in my home which a standard tv would plug into. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help, Daniel. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb users mailing list For V4L/DVB development, please use instead linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
