I have a DVB-s working here, but currently not with cooker. The driver that 
are in cooker are currently unfunctional, since they are wrong compiled :(. 
You can load the driver direkt from linuxtv.org and compile them. Hopefully 
in the future (means for 9.2) the drivers in Cooker will work. 

If you have the drivers working, the next problem is the application. Since 
you have budget cards, you can't use simply vdr & kvdr. Someone is working on 
a plugin for vdr that uses xine-lib as frontend device, so you could use all 
the features of vdr with your card. Another solution is a relative new app 
called qdvbzap. thats a wrapper to dvbtune and mplayer/xine. You have a 
little panel for channelselection and choose the channel to start mplayer on 
that channel. 

What you most likely need too is the scan tool from the dvb driver package in 
DVB/apps/scan. With that you can search all available channels you have with 
your dvb-t. 

I hope this gives you some hints. If you need helb in installation I would say 
the dvb-mailinglist is a more aproriate forum, since this is not a help 
forum. If you have asked how to get dvb support in cooker, here is the better 
place ;)

[Cooker] Has anyone got DVB working?

2003-08-17 Thread Michael Lothian
Has anyone succesfully got a DVB TV card working on their system?

If so how? I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my Hauppauge 
Nova-t working.

Thanks again
