And now that error above has gone away, but now it just shows a blank black screen when dvb is selected. The channel scanning does not detect anything. >Do you have the /dev/dvb/adapter0 directory after loading the >modules? Yes, it shows: [root@coyote dvb-atsc-tools-1.0.4]# ls -R /dev/dvb /dev/dvb: adapter0 /dev/dvb/adapter0: demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0 And an lspci shows these: 01:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) 01:07.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05) >From this utilities package:dvb-atsc-tools-1.0.4, dtvscan has returned this so far: [root@coyote dvb-atsc-tools-1.0.4]# dtvscan dtvscan ver 1.0.4 - by Jack Kelliher (c) 2002,2005,2006 Attempting to open /dev/dtv Opened FE:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 3 Opened DMX:/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 4 Opened DVR:/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 5 channel = 2 VSB_8 channel = 3 VSB_8 channel = 4 VSB_8 channel = 5 VSB_8 channel = 6 VSB_8 Signal: 32 Signal: 35 Signal: 36 Signal: 33 Signal: 34 Signal: 36 Signal: 38 Signal: 40 Signal: 41 Signal: 40 Signal: 40 Signal: 35 Signal: 37 Signal: 37 Signal: 40 Signal: 41 Signal: 39 Signal: 40 Signal: 36 Signal: 34 Signal: 36 Signal: 40 Signal: 41 Signal: 41 Signal: 39 Signal: 41 Signal: 37 Signal: 35 Signal: 36 Signal: 36 Signal: 38 Signal: 38 Signal: 40 Signal: 40 Signal: 34 Signal: 35 Signal: 36 Signal: 35 Signal: 37 Signal: 34 channel = 7 VSB_8 channel = 8 VSB_8 So obviously it is seeing something on channel 6, center freq 85mhz. And 'dtvsignal 6' is now reporting figures similar to the above snip. But its taking 20 seconds per empty channel scanned, so this will take a while. I might as well stop it, and redirect it to the channels.conf, but the README says it will generate it. Humm, its too concise to bother telling me how. Ahh, from its error screen, the -o <filename> option. So, once that's done, and I figure out where to put this 'channels.conf' file, I can try it again. >-- > Markku Kolkka > markku.kolkka@xxxxxx Thanks again, Markku. -- Cheers, Gene01:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) 01:07.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05) "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
