Ok. I just grabbed the dvb drivers from cvs, recompiled both the drivers and dvbtools accordingly. At first, I didn't have any luck with exactly the same symptoms as before i.e. tuning but no data... then, after setting tda1004x_debug = 1, I started getting data. Why, I don't know. I cleared the debug option, tried again, and still there's data. Great! :-) But if I pipe it through mplayer I don't get a picture just... tzap -r BBC-1 mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/share/locale MPlayer 0.90-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 4 PM Palomino/Athlon MP Multiprocessor/Athlon XP eXtreme Performance (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled with Runtime CPU Detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!
