With just the DVB-T channels in channels.conf (I haven't got the DVB-S card working yet) and the DVB-S card present I get "Channel unavailable" on every single channel. Without the DVB-S card present VDR can use the DVB-T card. Could it be a clash because both cards have a Philips SAA7146 chip (they're both Hauppauge WinTV Nova PCI models)? If so, this problem only arises if you try to open both cards at once, or it's unique to VDR, because other dvb utils such as scan, tzap and dvbstream do work on the DVB-T card when the DVB-S card is present. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
