Hi, As seen in mythtv-users (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/514948?search_string=290e;#514948) and mythtv-dev (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/514946?search_string=290e;#514946), I'm trying to figure out why my PCTV 290e (which I use for DVB-C only) stopped working when I upgraded to Fedora 16. It was most likely with the switch to the new API (5.x)? Some highlights from the thread(s): ---- begin cut ---- $ w_scan -A2 -fc -cSE -G -X |tee .czap/channels.conf w_scan version 20120112 (compiled for DVB API 5.3) using settings for SWEDEN DVB cable DVB-C scan type CABLE, channellist 7 output format czap/tzap/szap/xine WARNING: could not guess your codepage.

Is it possible that the kernel module simply doesn't understand the v3 API? Or is v5 backwards compatible? ---- end cut ---- BR, / Niklas -- 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
