femon seems to show a weaker signal at that 117000000 MHz, but using mplayer to tune i get a--could not set channel error. curiously the channel number is wrong, 50 instead of 99? femon: using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' FE: Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend (TERRESTRIAL) status 00 | signal 0113 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | status 00 | signal 0112 | snr 010e | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | mplayer dvb: Playing dvb://ABC. dvb_tune Freq: 117000000 Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency, timeout: 30 dvb_tune, TUNING FAILED ERROR, COULDN'T SET CHANNEL 50: Failed to open dvb://ABC. any suggestions for further debugging greatly appreciated, thanks. daniel > is this a problem with the driver, the card, or scandvb? w_scan seems to > give the same errors in that frequency range. > > my system is stock fedora 14 with kernel 2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64 currently. > > thanks again for any help, > >>> >>> -Andy >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> ivtv-users mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users >>> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> ivtv-users mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
