Well, I can see the service ID there in the channel table - e.g. 28106 for 
Das Erste. But there should also be video, audio and videotext PIDs 
somewhere, I think. I wonder where are they, then. Maybe they are negotiated 
somehow "on the fly"? Btw. how do you select the desired audio channel on 
Arte, if it is sending in German and french?
My dvb_pids table is empty and therefore I assumed THIS is the reason why I 
am not able to receive anything. Well, maybe the problem is somewhere 
else...

Also the data in the mplex table is correct for "Das erste"

Sure. Not in Kaffeine, but I have mplayer installed which shows all FTA 
channels without problems, I am using channels.conf file gathered by 
dvbscan. So all the drivers are up and running properly.

What kernel are you using?? I use 2.6.11, the skystar module was rewritten

I am using 2.6.12 but as I said I think this is not the reason.

I think this is not a dvb problem, maybe a rights problem?? 


Yes, that's the question. I will further investigate it.

I will.

Thanks a lot for hints.
