Hi,
actually I skipped the perl scripts, because they did not work out of
the box (i.e. the debian packages are broken).
I have now installed them manually and they work now.
Despite this I could not tune in the channel of my vcr.
The mapping from channel 36 to freq 591.25 seems to be correct.
So probably something more serious is going, maybe the tuner is
misdected?
But currently I have no ideas about what I could try to find the error.
