RE: [gentoo-user] Tuning QAM w/ pcHDTV3000
QAM and 8VSB are two different modulation schemes. 8VSB is used for digital off the air (ATSC) signals in the US. QAM is used on Cable systems. That's all about this topic but maybe it will help you sort out what you want to do. -Original Message- From: Michael Haan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2005 8:10 PM To: Discussion about mythtv; gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Tuning QAM w/ pcHDTV3000 I'm not sure I'm doing this right.

[gentoo-user] Tuning QAM w/ pcHDTV3000
I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I have the card installed, running 2.6.12-rc4. The drivers seem to load as does the firmware. I've built dvb-apps and tried: ./atscscan atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB And got nothing but: >>> tune to: 80300:8VSB WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!! >>> tune to: 80300:8VSB (tuning failed) WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
