QAM is modulation type used for DVB-C, should be 64 in Germany.

Hi Achim & *.*,

I just tried it, and it always says: "could not tune to"  +  Frequencie. Seems 
like this is only for the old driver, is that possible (tarball is dated 
2001!) or do I have to change configuration somehow ?

Here's a line from my dtv_scan.conf:

set Cable_Transponders {
   {330 C 6900}

Thanks for your advice,

Alex
