I haven't followed this thread from the beginning, but did you say what kind of DVB hardware you have?
I know the Nova-TD stick is a bit picky. Too strong a signal will cause the behavior you describe on this device. On my Nova-TD, using a good antenna will yield no data stream (but a 100% signal), whereas if I use the little mobile antenna that came with the stick, I get a stream but mpeg artefacts in the picture (due to low signal). I would try attenuating the signal (or removing amplifiers) or a different antenna. I would also give it a shot (since you're using mplayer to test) to use mplayer to control the whole scenario (tune, stream-on, demux, decode and display). Try the following command: mplayer dvb://[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using the TV6 channel will avoid any obstacles by the channel name containing extended-ascii (Ö) and space ... TV6 should be an unencrypted channel and on the same MUX as TV4, even in the Öresund region ;) // J On Sat, 2008-02-09 at 01:28 +0100, Per Blomqvist wrote: > The channel isn't encrypted. > (I have tested with many public chanels, that I know isnt encrypted. > Cant get any video out) > > Im Debian-tesing user, and this is a freshly installed system.
