For me, it was actually very easy to get going: - install drivers (I'm currently on the ones pulled in by the media_build script but I htink the vanilla 3.0.x kernel drivers would have worked) - create a fake channel on the frequency of the HD mux and with QAM256 (I think vdr could find the new mux because I'd been getting loads of "can't tune to channel 0" messages for a while which I put down to the HD mux and not having anything that could tune to it at the time: maybe it would have "just worked" given time) - tune to the fake channel and let vdr add the real channels - delete the fake channel! My current vdr box isn't beefy enough to play back HD recordings (2.7 MHz P4) but it can happily record them and I can play back on my "main" PC using a vdpau-enabled Nvidia card. > And if I'm still getting a HD signal tomorrow, I'll know that my 2-way > splitters really are the problem too :-).

My 290e doesn't want to tune to any of the SD muxes at all but works fine on the HD one! Could be faulty but if it works OK for HD it's fine for me! The signal from my aerial goes through an amplifier to another amplifier with four outputs! I could probably do with a new aerial!! The problem I currently have is the encoded epg from the HD channels. I've got eepg running now but I htink that only processes EPG from the DVB stream rather than processing existing EPG data. This is a problem because I'm downloading EPG from Radio Times and feeding it in using xmltv2vdr. Even so, I don't think eepg was unencoding any new EPG data. The epgsearch plugin manages to find A LOT of recordings when your EPG is garbled!! :-s One step at a time...
