Phil,

Thanks very much for your advice! I actually got a picture using xine instead, as per someone's suggestion:

tzap -r -c ~/.tzap/channels.conf "BBC ONE" & xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

worked fine.

But anyway.... like you, I did try adding the card in mythtv anyway, it scanned and found all channels, but am having problems watching the channels - mythfilldatabase doesn't pull in the program listings apart from BBC1, but even with BBC1 I can't watch it - and when I start up the backend with the DVB card in, I get:

desire:/home/piers# mythbackend
Running as a slave backend.

Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong...?

Thanks!

I got as far as getting FE_HAS_LOCK and then couldn't get dvbstream to
play anything through mplayer. Anyway, as the signal seemed to be
getting through the tuner card OK I decided to go and set up MythTV
rather than spend time getting dvbstream working. That worked fine.
I'm no expert, but I'd advise skipping the dvbstream bit - assume it's
OK as you've got this far and get it configured in MythTV. That's what
worked for me!

Regards,
Phill
