Some preliminaries

if i plug the usb pctv

sudo cp dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw /lib/firmware
again re-put the usb pctv and...

I also notice that a blue light appear on the key. We get also the interface files dir
[01:27:53] luca@eeepc: ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
totale 0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 4 8 giu 00:10 demux0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 5 8 giu 00:10 dvr0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 3 8 giu 00:10 frontend0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 212, 7 8 giu 00:10 net0
I have to check frequencies so i've scanned all of which are included in it-* files (i'm italian)
cd /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan
for file in ls -l it-*; \
do scan $file >> $HOME/.tzap/channel.conf
waited a lot ... I used also wscan
wget http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/w_scan-20080105.tar.bz2
tar xvjf w_scan-20080105.tar.bz2
cd w_scan [Press tab]
make
./w_scan -x > asd
Now I use scan, put togheter with other frequencies founded, sort'n uniq'n save
scan asd >> qwerty
cat qwerty >> $HOME/.tzap/channels.conf
cd $HOME/.tzap
sort channels.conf |uniq > asd
mv asd channels.conf
I'm ready for tzap: i can see all channels with
sed -e 's/:.*//g' $HOME/.tzap/channels.conf
so i've tried with
MTV:610000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRANSMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO:0:0:203
tzap -r "MTV"
but I get only,
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: error while parsing constellation (syntax error)
some tests
[01:18:28] luca@eeepc: dvbtraffic
^C
dvbtraffic is "dead"
[01:24:49] luca@eeepc: dvbsnoop -s pidscan dvbsnoop V1.4.50 -- http://dvbsnoop.sourceforge.net/

Transponder PID-Scan...
---------------------------------------------------------
[01:24:49] luca@eeepc:
dvbsnoop too
Kernel seems to recognize the hardware and my channels.conf have reasonable (local important and known) channels, founded normally by scan & w_scan, so where do i make mistakes?? Is pinnacle pctv nano stick still to young?
Thanks Luca
