Hi all, Please disregard my post. I was generating my channels.conf file with the 'scan' utility which was not generating the correct format (or at least leaving some stuff out).
I read the man 5 page for vdr and fixed it up by hand, now everythings fine. I apologise for not rtfm before posting, my bad :( Dave On Wed, 2003-09-10 at 20:15, Dave Collett wrote: > Hi all, > I have a nova-t dvb card. > vdr does not display any channels, all I get is a blank screen (menus > (OSD) works fine).
