It should look like this:

[root at frontend3 ~]# azap -a0 kaet
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 563000000 Hz
video pid 0x0000, audio pid 0x0000
status 00 | signal cf00 | snr 1ddc | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
status 00 | signal c5b0 | snr 5ff2 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

Any status of 00 means, in my experience up to this point, that the
card actually isn't "live" yet. The times it's failing, all the lines
of an AZAP will be status 00.
