Hi Robin,

Ok, The first two tests work, ie tzap gets me a the FE-HAS_LOCK messages,

scan get's me a channel.conf of 80 channels with the command...

./util/scan/scan ./util/scan/dvb-t/uk-Oxford > channels.conf

but when I run dvbstream made from a CVS checkout (Version 0.6)

I get 

./dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | /usr/bin/mplayer -

So, I guess that mplayer needs something else ??
