I found that while these lines are generated by me-tv and possibly dvbscan, scan actually works. And the results of scan are accepted as channels.conf by me-tv , after an iconv conversion to utf-8 (whatever). And me-tv WORKS! So, the end result: these messages somehow mean "use scan". Google did not help - so I hope it will help the next person hitting this problem as they will find this in the archives :) Yours, Mikhail Ramendik 2009/10/1 Mikhail Ramendik <mr@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello, > > I have: > > - Debian Lenny (dual booted with Windows XP) > - Linux kernel 2.6.30 (from backports.org) > - An AverMedia DVB-S Pro A700 card (not hybrid) > - a satellite dish set to Astra 28.2E (in Ireland) > > With Windows XP I can view TV all right. > > With Linux, I tried tuning with me-tv and scan, in both cases using > files for Astra 28.2E.
