[linux-dvb] newbie q: dvbsec_set() - frontend setup howto

[Nick Fedchik]

Hi!

I newbie in DVB API such as in DVB technology.
Now I try to make simple userspace application to set up one tv channel and 
store MPEG video stream from budget DVB card.
libdvbapi and libdvbsec libraries used (I guess it's enough for my task, so I 
try to avoid a lots of ioctl's), so the task is to setup frontend using 
parameters passed to my utility as parameters.
So now I stopped when try to set up frontend from my application.
I guess it's easy task and I just miss something,
That's why I ask here to help - may be someone experienced can view to my 
source code (easydvb-fe.c attached) and tell me what I miss (or what's 
wrong).

Output:

# ./easydvb -f 10723 -s 27500 -P 163
