Hello, I am trying to understand what is going wrong on a Pinnacle 73e running on Linux Mint 12. The system seems to recognize the device properly: dmesg [ 25.571464] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (DiBcom 7000PC)...

I cannot find any channel during the scan. However, I know that the card and the antenna are sound because I do find all channels in Windows 7. divb0700 chipset seems to be well supported in v4l so I do not want to give it up and make it work. However, I am stuck now as I do not know what might be going wrong. I even tried different inputs to the scan program to see if it made a difference: #!/bin/bash for x in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/es-Val*; do for i in 0 1 2; do scan -i $i -5 -n -t 1 $x > /tmp/$(basename $x)-$i.tv done done But it didn't. Scan cannot find channels anyway. Please any hint about what to check next will be very much appreciated.
