<br>seeing something like this.<br>./azap -r XETV<br>tuning to 627000000 Hz<br>video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000<br>status 00 | signal a28e | snr fb73 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |<br>status 1f | signal 04dc | snr fce9 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
<br>FE_HAS_LOCK<br>status 1f | signal 04dc | snr fd21 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |<br>FE_HAS_LOCK<br>status 1f | signal 0936 | snr fd19 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |<br>FE_HAS_LOCK<br>status 1f | signal 0936 | snr fcf9 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
<br>FE_HAS_LOCK<br><br>Once you see something like that and it locks onto the stream, you<br>should be able to cat dvr0 at the same time and get a readable HD file.<br>(make sure you don't have mythbackend running and holding onto the dvb
<br>card like it does) But you have to see the lock otherwise it isn't going<br>to give you anything.<br><br>Also the only thing I have in my modules.conf.

<br>same thing you have. (although I use QAM instead of OTA) This post<br>helped me when I was first trying to do it with OTA.

<br>
Hrm I keep feeling I'm pretty close, but then seem to uncover something
else. Has anyone been able to compile linuxtv-dvb-apps under FC4
or know of an RPM source? I can't run azap or anything yet as I
can't get it installed since GCC4 seems to have a problem wit the
sources.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
