Hello, both in the Ubuntu package dvb-apps, and in the source from http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps , there is both a program scan and dvbscan, which are not the same. Which should be used when? I have a TechnoTrend C-1501 DVB-C card, and only `scan` worked. `dvbscan /usr/local/share/dvb/dvb-c/no-Oslo-CanalDigital` gave the output "Unable to query frontend status". Could the --help in the programs say something about which should work when? In util/dvbscan/dvbscan.c main(): if (dvbfe_get_info(fe, DVBFE_INFO_LOCKSTATUS, &feinfo, DVBFE_INFO_QUERYTYPE_IMMEDIATE, 0) != DVBFE_INFO_QUERYTYPE_IMMEDIATE) { fprintf(stderr, "Unable to query frontend status\n"); exit(1); } In lib/libdvbapi/dvbfe.c dvbfe_get_info(): switch(querytype) { case DVBFE_INFO_QUERYTYPE_IMMEDIATE: if (querymask & DVBFE_INFO_LOCKSTATUS) { if (!ioctl(fehandle->fd, FE_READ_STATUS, &kevent.status)) { returnval |= DVBFE_INFO_LOCKSTATUS; } } ... return returnval; I do not really understand this. If the call to ioctl *suceeds*, DVBFE_INFO_LOCKSTATUS is returned, and exit(1) is called in main(). I do not really understand this.
