As a simple user regarding LinuxTV, i had to: 1) Buy a TV card, and plug it 2) Try TV software to "scan", and see this is not working 3) google the issue and found a tuto 4) try the tuto 5) scan 6) scream "this fucking card **** **** * ****" to everyone ( false, i keep it in my head) 7 to 34) Iterate many many time between 3 and 6 35) At least found the Freq in Mhz = 306 + (8 x N) + (0,166 x D) thing on an obscure and random forum 36) take an editor, my favorite scripting language, and program something to get the good file for Brest 37) test a scan 38) See this is not working 39) scream " i don't know the **** others parameter like polarisation" (yes, still in my head) ... 87) Found how to finally get a working file for brest 88) Send the Brest file to [i don't remember], and Alexis gently said he commited it. I think this took me enough lifetime to say that +66% on scan is really not an issue. +66% is good, even 200% is good! 1) You launch the scan, and see how it's progressing 2) take a coffee and read some news on the net. 3) And finally enjoy the fact the card found all TV channel. 4) At the end, say to the world "the linux/linux-media developers are fu***** good" IMHO, this is a much better process ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
