hello, I have a Twinhan1025 card and after I loaded related bttv module, use the following two command, I can watch the specific channel via xine. ------------------- [root@pc1 ~]$./szap -l 11300 -c /home/zhuhx/channels.conf "JCTV" -r [root@pc1 ~]$xine stdin://mpeg2</dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 [zhuhx@pc1 ~]$ cat /home/zhuhx/channels.conf JCTV:12581:h:S146.0E:25600:165:100:0:0:16:0:0:0 TBN:12581:h:S146.0E:25600:166:104:0:0:17:0:0:0 [zhuhx@pc1 ~]$ ------------------- but, when I try to use vdr-1.4.3 and softdevice-0.2.3,the vdr comes out with OSD, but no TV program comes out. Is it because I use the wrong command or the /video/channels.conf format is wrong? (I use "szap -o vdr" , see following info.)? or I didn't press the right key to let vdr lock and output video? what I do is the following: 1.use "scan" to generate channels.conf and cp it to /video, which has two entries for 2 TV channel. -------------------------------------------------------------- [root@pc1 dvb-s]# pwd /home/zhuhx/linux-dvb/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan/dvb-s [root@pc1 dvb-s]# ls Agials146E Hispasat-30.0W PAS-43.0W Telecom2-8.0W Thor-1.0W Astra-19.2E Hotbird-13.0E Sirius-5.0E Telstar12-15.0W Turksat-42.0E [root@pc1 dvb-s]# cat Agials146E S 12301000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12541000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12581000 H 25600000 5/6 S 12661000 H 25600000 5/6 [root@pc1 dvb-s]# ---------------------------------------------------- [root@pc1 scan]# ./scan -l 11300 -x 0 -o vdr -p dvb-s/Agials146E >/root/channels2.conf scanning dvb-s/Agials146E using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' initial transponder 12301000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12541000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12581000 H 25600000 5 initial transponder 12661000 H 25600000 5 ................ 0x0000 0x01bb: pmt_pid 0x0000 443 -- Pinball (running, scrambled) Network Name 'PMSI Network (NagraVision)' WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0548 dumping lists (128 services) Done.
