Greetings,

I'm testing a Nova-T-500 (non-Diversity/TD) version.   Latest drivers,
running on latest version of Ubuntu.

Using "scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-Rowridge" I've managed to get it pick up
some channels but not a great many, this is expected.

When using tzap -r "BBC Four" I see the following appear:

status 1f | signal 501d | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 5092 | snr 0000 | ber 00000020 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4fdc | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4f99 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4fcb | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4fe1 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK

Although nothing appears when I "cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 >
/root/test.mpg" I get a 0 length file from both adapters (when kicking tzap
off to look at the appropriate one).

I'm assuming the snr of 0000 means I'm getting no actual signal but the card
itself is functional?
