You locked on to only 2 RF carriers. I don't have cable/QAM available to me, but the number do look kind of odd. Here's what I have in my ~/.mplayer/channels.conf for 8-VSB terrestrial ATSC in my area: WFDC DT:479028615:8VSB:49:52:3 WETA-HD:551028615:8VSB:49:52:1 WETADT1:551028615:8VSB:65:68:2 WETADT2:551028615:8VSB:81:84:3 WETADT3:551028615:8VSB:97:100:4 MHz1:569028615:8VSB:49:52:1 MHz2:569028615:8VSB:65:68:2 MHz3:569028615:8VSB:81:84:3 MHz4:569028615:8VSB:97:100:4 MHz5:569028615:8VSB:113:116:5 WHUT-DT:587028615:8VSB:17:20:1 WHUT-TV:587028615:8VSB:0:0:65535 WUSA-HD:593028615:8VSB:49:52:1 9-Radar:593028615:8VSB:65:68:2 WUSA-TV:593028615:8VSB:0:0:65535 WDCA DT:599028615:8VSB:49:52:3 WTTG DT:605000000:8VSB:49:52:3 WJLA-HD:623028615:8VSB:49:52:3 WJLA-SD:623028615:8VSB:65:68:4 WJLA-S2:623028615:8VSB:113:116:5 WRC-1:677028615:8VSB:49:52:3 WRC-2:677028615:8VSB:65:68:4 CW50:695028615:8VSB:49:52:3 With the above channles.conf, I can watch a station with mplayer using something like: $ mplayer dvb://WJLA-HD You might want to try just an antenna directed at the nearest major city to see if you can scan for some ATSC terrestrial broadcasts and tune to them. -Andy _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
