tzap requires a valid channels.conf file (usually in ~/.tzap/) in
order to run. It tunes the DVB device to a desired channel. You
usually need to use dvbscan in order to generate this file.

That looks good - you should get about 85 channels or so on a full
DVB-T scan in the UK.

# lsmod | fgrep "dvb"

and

# dmesg | fgrep "dvb"

will show which DVB modules are loaded and their corresponding log
messages when loaded, respectively.
