Hi,
        Scan gave me a channel list as shown.
szap -r "BBC World" gives me a continuous output like this.

ts2ps /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 0 0 |gmplayer -cache 2048 -
opens up mplayer with an error message saying file not found !!!
 

1) ts2ps /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 0 0 means nothing: the second and third 
parameter
are the audio and video pids you want to use: 2160 and 2120 in case of 
Dubai EDTV

2) use mplayer cvs, not 0.9x

3) if you still want to use a pipe at least  run
szap -r "BBC World"
mplayer -cache 2048 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

4) xine, mplayer and vlc have native dvb support, so there's no need to 
resort to pipes

xine dvb://
mplayer dvb://
vlc has a different syntax.
In all cases read the docs included in the source packages to find how 
to use the dvb streaming module.


I could not compile dvbstream because of the headers <ost/*.h>. I don't have 
these headers  on the 2.6.0-test7 system with DVB-Kernel. VLC also had the 
same problem, when i gave the parameter --enable-dvb.

     Is there something wrong ?

Thanks and regards,
Manu
 

You need dvbstream 0.4pre3+, that is the version checked out from cvs

www.sf.net/projects/dvbtools/

ost/*.h are header files relative to 0.9.x drivers; they are obsolete.
VLC uses libdvb, available from www.metzlerbros.de
