I am fairly sure that this is correct. To get the frequency for c-band you usually subtract the values the other way around. Another way to look at it (perhaps) is that because these are frequencies, a negative frequency is the same thing as the positibe frequency (ie abs(frequency) is what matters). I have thing sort of working now. What I did was to connect the card to the LNB loop on my existing set-top-box. With the polarity set correctly there I am getting my channels! I don't know why it does not work when the set-top-box is turned off etc. Perhaps I have somekind of voltage problem. Things are working although not optimally. VDR is even working. (In vdr I set the lof parameters to 0 and put in the L-band frequency and it just worked.) Anyway it is getting late here so I will go to bed. > > HTH, > Johannes > -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
