G'day all, I've just purchased a Nebula DVB-t PCI card, works a treat under windows but I'm having some difficulty getting it working under linux. I'm using slackware 9.1 which has a 2.4.22 kernel, and have followed the HOWTO here; http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2003/07-2003/

Hi Johannes, did you modified the CRC check so that you will only check packets with section syntax indicator=1? Doing so in general would be a bad idea i think, I would rather add a new DMX_CHECK_CRC_SSI suggest this semantic: DMX_CHECK_CRC not set - always pass packets DMX_CHECK_CRC

First check the signal by running apps/szap/femon along with vdr. Since I've never used this tools before what output can I expect from a good/bad signal? If recording works on some channels it is unlikely that it is a DMA issue, it's more likely that the signal is weak or that there is interfere
