[linux-dvb] Help with SCAN and SZAP

[Norm Dressler <norm@dressler.ca>]

Hi there,

Trying to get my VisionPlus card to view DBS Nimiq 1 channels.

Drivers loaded:
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:0d.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:02:0d.1
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:02:0d.0, irq: 11, latency: 16, mmio: 0xcf000000
bttv0: detected: Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T [card=113], PCI subsystem ID is 
1822:0001
bttv0: using: Twinhan DST + clones [card=113,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f5fffe [init]
bttv0: using tuner=4
bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0"
bt878: AUDIO driver version 0.0.0 loaded
bt878: Bt878 AUDIO function found (0).

Using Mandrake 10.  Manually compiled DVB-apps because I find the Mandrake RPM 
scandvb didn't include the -l DBS option.

Trying to scan channels but I'm only getting the horizontal channels so I 
suspect that is part 1 of my problem.  I do get about 236 channels found.  
based on the channels.conf that it generates I'm able to szap to XPRS2, which 
is not encrypted:
../szap/szap -r -c channels.conf -l DBS XPRS2
reading channels from file 'channels.conf'
zapping to 3 'XPRS2':
sat 0, frequency = 12253 MHz V, symbolrate 20000000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 
0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 1934 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 1a38 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 1ae5 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 4500 | snr 1a04 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

Now when I try to use mplayer to view the stream, I don't get any data.  I'm 
stuck and need some direction as to which steps I should take next.  I know 
everything works fine since I can see the satelite and watch XPRS2 in 
windows.

Mplayer does the following (using RPM that came with Mandrake 10):

mplayer - </dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

And it stays there.

Any suggestions???

Thanks
