If I use czap to tune, it will report "lock" after, perhaps, 20 seconds, and I get a picture. But if I start czap, and after a second hit ctrl-c, I will still, after about 20 second get a picture on my telly, and no outcommand error 1 in the log. - Micael MB> Hello Holger, MB> OK, so now I have moved it (the DVB card) around in my computer, and MB> there's still _some_ outcommand error 1 in the log, but fewer, I MB> think.
