Then you can pull out `mplayer' Hi Barry, I'm chopping out the script, just to cut the size of this reply down. But, thanks very much for sending the script, it looks good, and yep, I think I'll find that very useful once I get tv going on my box. > > Alright, so, I downloaded the file placed it in /tmp, gave it +rw > > permissions and ran: > > sudo scan /tmp/au-melbourne > > Okay, first of all, you should be able to do this as a > normal user -- not `sudo' (sorry, I've been spending too > much time reading Slashdot where people have been discussing Ah, thanks for the tip, yep I'm in a bad habit of that, thanks for the reminder :-) > But first, one useful option would be `-v' to verbosely > scan, which can show some details about why you cannot > tune. > Please see the mail I sent directly to you off-list. > That is, if `scan' gives no useful output with a scanfile > that you know should be correct (and you are welcome to > post the results of scanning, either in private mail or > cut down to the attempts for two or three frequencies to > the mailing list), then there may be a problem outside > of your USB tuner and computer.

It is a fantastic browser with a braille terminal, and recently when I have been using speech on my laptop, so I don't have to carry the display around (speech is terrible by itself), lynx works very nice as well. > My attitude to sites with javascript is that I don't bother > with them, as I'm searching for info in text format (ASCII > PR0N FOR THE MASSES! mplayer supports aalib! no need for Ah, ok.

And that doesn't I ended up doing that since those interfaces aren't nice with lynx or braille (i can use firefox, but they aren't great when it comes to accessibility), so I really like my ssh router. The voip ata doesn't have ssh and it's just lucky that the interface is managable with a braille display. > Sorry I can't help much there... No worries, it's just good to know how others handle specific problems. Thanks very much for all your help with everything.
