Wll you see I tried scanning. Indeed I tried scanning all of the transmitters in my local area. But I simply came up blank. I cannot tune. (This is despite the fact that I can tune with Kaffeine/KAXTV). Which makes me wonder anyway... It is so much easier to tune with Kaffeine... Why don't all DVB apps use this tuning scheme? It is much more useful for the average user to use. Anyway, here are the results of my scanning efforts. opPike \ -o vdr -u >/var/lib/vdr/channels.conf scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-PontopPike using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 690000000 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 >>> tune to: 690000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_1_2:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 690000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_1_2:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
