Thanks Steven for all the support, Now I got the master slave to work and I can scan the local FOX channel with azap tridentsx@tridentsx-P5K-E:~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine$ azap FOX using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 599028615 Hz video pid 0x0031, audio pid 0x0034 status 01 | signal 0000 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 0000ca8b | status 1f | signal 8e53 | snr 00c4 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 907a | snr 00c5 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000165 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 8dc8 | snr 00c4 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal 8d3f | snr 00c1 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK However when I try to view or scan channels in mplayer or kaffeine it can't find them and there are some timeouts Similar to the ones I got in scan utility. kaffeine(5476) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 3 pid = 8187 kaffeine(5476) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 0 pid = 0 kaffeine(5476) DvbScanFilter::timerEvent: timeout while reading section; type = 3 pid = 8187 Playing dvb://. dvb_tune Freq: 599028615 dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 6 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 5 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 4 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 3 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 2 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, attempt N. 1 failed with errno 0 when reading 2048 bytes dvb_streaming_read, return 0 bytes Failed to recognize file format.

No one else on this > list has this card ? You are very welcome, thank you. We generally recommend Linux users purchase cards that are already supported (or semi supported), such as the HVR2250. If you're keen enough to tackle adding support for a new board then that's great news, but very few people usually have experience with hardware not yet supported. The channels.conf is capable of support digital cable and ATSC, simply change the modulation scheme and your target frequency and try again. A quick google for an equivalent ATSC channels.conf provides a lot of useful information. Create your channels.conf to match your target frequencies in Hz and use azap to debug. Eg.
