I use the KNC card with the driver from http://www.metzlerbros.org/dvb/index.html version 1.1.6b and SUSE 8.2.
As a newbie it took me quiet some time to get everything to work, but now it finally works with (n-tv)
dvbstream -o -ps -f 12670 -p v -s 22000 162 96 | xine stdin://mpeg2
It takes some time before the picture shows up ????? Why?
I use the latest version of xine , (gxine also works)
It never worked with xine -, as in most publications mentioned, why ?
Good luck,
Detlef

So I assume this is still correct and the card is not supported :( Next I will try the Technisat Skystar2 card, hope that this one does work correctly. Many thanks for all the help! Holger
