Hello Mauro and thanks for your sentences But: 1- For such experienced programmer as you, it is obvious from http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#problem2 , that when no any software could scan the channels, thus at least one important problem is in the kernel side, isn't it? If the problems are only in the userspace, at least one of many good softwares such as mentioned here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#problem1 could find the channels during scanning, aren't they? 2- you mentioned "most of the comments and logs there provide not much help", i can provide any other help and comment and logs and tests of new changes in driver sources that you want, as i did about 12 days ago for "Devin Heitmueller" during a chat session in #linux-tv of irc.freenode.net. 3- you mentioned some about my performance complaints, but if you read this part of my writings: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#c1 you can find the power of my testing hardware is reasonably very very higher than needed by tv showing applications, and the Nvidia-G9500-GT graphic card is more famous than we can relate the problems to its miss functioning, isn't it? 4- i inserted the scan result of another DVB-stick that i had, here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/channels.conf for you , but i had not that DVB-stick now for testing again. it had the afatech-9015 chip set and could find my all 25 digital channel in any linux box by any here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#problem1 mentioned software. The only problem with that afatech based DVB was 2 : it could not play the sounds of digital channels except one of digital-TV channels i explained about it here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#p-h and here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#p-d and here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#p-e and here: http://daftar.minidns.net/pctv/problem.html#p-g , any second problem: it was not the analog TV capable. 5- and again the above mentioned paragraph (4) prove that most of problems is in the kernel space not userspace, because that afatech based DVB-stick could find all 25 digital channels during scan and play the by all of mentioned software, and only one of problems is the same as Pinnacle's one: the problem of sounds of that 13 digital tv channel. At end i again tell that, i am in the #linux-tv chat room as dast53 for speaking to solving those problems.

After that copying, i could run kaffeine on the pinnacle DVB and without scanning, thus i had a table of channels and in its main window and when i clicked on a channel, that channel was shown. > > You mentioned that you did another dvb stick worked, but on another computer. > Why such dvb stick didn't work at the computer you tested your Pinnacle > device? > > Also, does the working stick is capable of getting the dvb channels using the > scan tool provided at http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps?
