[linux-dvb] Re: Newby: Hauppauge Nova-T card: tzap error

[Scott White <scott@clubguide.com>]

I made an error in the line for channels.conf by leaving the "CA"
parameter as 2.  I only have one DVB card so I have changed the lie from

bbc1:505833:0:0:0:600:601:0:2:4164

to

bbc1:505833:0:0:0:600:601:0:1:4164

but it made no difference.  I also tried 0.
