Since your kernel (2.6.22) was quite old it could have been that you already used the current hg version. > But I still haven't been able to see anything.

Once you got it running you'll really see that it's not that complicated. Here's a quick step-by-step tutorial: After installing the hg driver be sure you also downloaded the right firmware file. In this case it's dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw. Check your dmesg, you should see something like this (in this case it's a Hauppauge USB stick): dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in cold state, will try to load a firmware firmware: requesting dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw' dib0700: firmware started successfully. dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T Stick' in warm state. If you try different firmware versions keep in mind that it will only be loaded if the card/USB-stick is in the "cold state". So unplug the stick or, as in your case, power off your computer. Now you'll need the Linux dvb-apps. In Debian Etch the package is called "dvb-utils", in Debian Lenny it's called "dvb-apps". Pick the right frequency file for your region and run a channel scan. With Etch it should be something like this: scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/es-Collserola | tee channels.conf Note to other users: If you can't find a frequency table, check the hg version of dvb-apps from linuxtv.org. There are a lot more tables than for example in the dvb-utils package of Etch. If the scan is unsuccessful, re-check the antenna and the driver setup. You might need to set some driver options like options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 If the scan worked well you are almost done. Next test is if you can tune to a channel. Do this: tzap -c channels.conf -r "name of a channel" The channel name is the first item on each line in channels.conf, be sure to put it in quotes if it contains a space. You should see some output like this: status 1f | signal 4c0d | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK The important thing is the "FE_HAS_LOCK" at the end (ignore the "snr" here, the driver just doesn't report the value). If you have non-zero "unc" (uncorrected errors), check your antenna. In another terminal, start mplayer to test if you can receive something: mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 If all this worked, copy the channels.conf to /etc/mplayer and use mplayer directly to tune and watch (stop tzap first): mplayer dvb://"channel name" This uses the first DVB adapter. To use the second adapter try something like this: mplayer dvb://2@"channel name" so long, Hias ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
