Because this is the latest version and this has been tested with DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-C. And with succes! ;) BTW, you might want to increase the logging for VDR or check the logfiles in /var/log what VDR has thrown out (Ubuntu uses /var/log/user.log for instance). My best guess is an frontend timeout error. This means that a timeout (duh!) occured when tuning to the selected channel. This can mean a reception problem (not likely, but good to point out) or a problem in your channels.conf. > Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there anything I'm > missing?

But *some* modulation types didn't exist in S2API when I wrote the patches and you need to check this for yourself. You need to check the settings (Red button to edit in the TV Channels overview) and see if they are indeed correct and change them accordinly. My best guess, is that the modulation types are wrong. > It would be good to get this working as my old OS is now messy and > really needs a clean build with a shiny new kernel and I can't patch > up to date multiproto with the old HVR4000 patches (a few FAILS which > I guess I could fix, but might take some time as they don't look that > trivial) and an older version of multiproto from HG doesn't compile on > the new kernel! > Best to say, multiproto is not needed to get it al working. I've got the same kind of config as you ( NOVA-HD-S2 and a Gigabyte USB stick for DVB-T) and it works very good with S2API. > Can anyone point me in the right direction on what might be going on? > See the above ;) > Thanks Regards, Niels Wagenaar _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
