Hello all,
Have received my Hauppauge Nova-T card, but as it is of the newer one with a Conexant chipset, I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work, and got the kernel driver to work, then followed Martin Smith's excellent DVB howto (http://www.ethics-gradient.net/myth/) - but am stuck at one point, and I can't google for the solution as there's no error message! I would like to see what I'm doing wrong...
I've done everything in his guide right up until to this point:
====================================
The last two numbers are the IDs of the video and audio stream within the multiplex. We also need the transmission parameters to feed to dvbstream. The command I would use for the channel above is this:
# dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - ====================================
I've used scan to create my channel.conf file, and here's the snippet for BBC1:
BBC ONE:778166670:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1__32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601:4161
then tried tzap "BBC ONE" and got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tzap "BBC ONE"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 778166670 Hz
video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259

status 1f | signal 3737 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

So it works just fine. Then I try the bit Martin has written above:
dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -
I have used 600 and 601 as my line seemed similar to Martin's example, but my line had an extra set of numbers at the end - 4161 - I've also tried the following:
dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 601 4161 | mplayer -
but the output from tzap - "video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259" - does seem to suggest 600 and 601 are the right numbers. Anyway, trying "dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -" outputs:

Seems to be working just fine... but I can't see *any* picture at all! Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks very much for your help in advance
