To scan for signals and to switch between channels with my card i have been using a program called ivtv-manager. It was published on thsi lost some weeks ago by Stefan in a thread called 'Program ivtv manager'. It can be downloaded from: http://www.lynic.de/ivtv-manager-1.01.tar.bz2 It lacks documentation, but this is what i have / gathered: You can run the program and change the channels by pressing the up/down keys, change the volume by the left/right keys and you can input the channel number by the numeric keys (you can submit the channel by wait a second or pressing the return key). Also finetuning is now possible To get a better signal) The controls: key up/down = change the channel key left/right = change volume m = mute +/- = fine tune ( are these steps ok?) s = save configuration (to save fine tuning) (1234567890) = direct channel number input return = submit channel number input To install: Install it by unpacking the program, and the run 'make' in that directory. There is no 'make install' - You can run it by issuing ./ivtv-manager or you can copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/ To find the proper frequncies and fill the frequency table: As a user run: ivtv-manager -s /dev/video0 europe-west This creates the file 'ivtv-manager' with the found frequencies in your homedir 'europe-west' is an example (this is where i live). For your country pick the correct one from the file 'frequencies.c' in the ivtv-manager directory. To watch TV: Then start reading the signal via (the path can point anywhere where you can read/write and have ample space) : cat /dev/video > ~/test.mpg look at the signal via mplayer ~/test.mpg For me it works very well. The only issue i have (that i stil have to report back) is that the + sign is also used by mplyer to forward. So if yo use it in a high speed while finetuning you will reach the end of the file and mplayer stops playing.
