Nobody any ideas? If not, does anybody have some idea what the difference between position 1+2, pos 3 and pos 4 could be? I was thinking 1 and 2 might be working because of toneburst, but I don't think Kaffeine uses such a signal and that doesn't explain why pos 3 works if first tuning to 1 or 2 and 4 doesn't work at all. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
