You have to edit your channels.conf file and add the missing information. I found a guide here: http://telperion.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/dvb-t-hd-con-smplayer-e-vdpau/ This is an italian blog, so I will translate the whole procedure for you: Open your channels.conf file with an editor ad find the line for one of your HD channels. It should look like this: Canale5 HD:754000000:[other_things_here]:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1010:1011:5305 Take note of the last number, in this case 5305 Now open a terminal and tune your card to that channel. You can use tzap: tzap -c /full/path/of/channels.conf "Canale5 HD" and leave it running. Open another terminal and, using dvbsnoop, find the Program Map Table for the stream: dvbsnoop -s pidscan | grep 'Program Map Table' leave it running for some seconds, you should get something like this: |PID found: 101 (0x0065) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 102 (0x0066) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 103 (0x0067) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 104 (0x0068) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 105 (0x0069) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 106 (0x006a) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 107 (0x006b) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 108 (0x006c) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 215 (0x00d7) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)]| |PID found: 216 (0x00d8) [SECTION: Program Map Table (PMT)] | |Take note of the PID numbers, stop dvbsnoop by hitting ctrl-c and, starting from the last PID, search for the PID which refers to the Program number you found in the channels.conf (the last number you took note of, in this example was 5305)| | ||dvbsnoop 216 -n 1 | grep '5305' | |leave it running for a while. If you have no output, stop dvbsnoop by pressing ctrl-c and try whith the next (in this case 215) until you have an output like this: | |Program_number: 5305 (0x14b9)| || |Now you finally have the piece of information you were searching, the PID number. In this example is 215.| |Come back to your channels.conf file and edit the line for your channel:| || |before:| ||Canale5 HD:754000000:[other_things_here]:HIERARCHY_AUTO:1010:1011:5305 after: Canale5 HD:754000000:[other_things_here]:HIERARCHY_AUTO:215+1010:1011:5305 Now you're finally done. Save the file and check if mplayer works. Repeat the above procedure for every HD channel in your channels.conf file.
