I've been playing with the DVB drivers for the HD2000 (pchdtv), and this is
what I did:
- make sure the DVB driver loads properly and sees the card (will be different
for you than it was for me)
- get and install the dvb-apps packages from linuxtv.org
- create a channels.conf file for your area (see the
util/szap/channels-conf/atsc subdir); I didn't have XML/XPath.pm handy, so I
fudged one manually with the frequency table included in the perl script.
Make sure to get the pids right (decimal) in the last two fields.
- run "azap -r channel", where channel is one of the channel names you defined
in your channels.conf. Leave it running while you:
- "dd if=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 of=testfile bs=1M" to create your file.
I'm currently working on getting my datadirect guide data to fill in the
channels that the myth dvb scan identified.
Good luck!
