[linux-dvb] Newby, channels.conf, ARM-stuff

[Benjamin Forgeau <forgeau@tu-harburg.de>]

	Hi You All,

	My first message on this list. I have a Hauppauge Nexus DVB-C card 
(VES1820) since last week. The software under Windows is OK, now I want 
it under Linux (like my MP3s and my DVD player). I'm using SuSE 8.0 
Pro. I'm not really sure which list (dvr or linux-dvb) is the one I 
need, so I try both.

	Maybe not relevant, but for the information: I'm living in the center 
of Hamburg, Germany, my cable provider seems to be "Urbana", which 
retransmits everything from "Deutsche Telekom".

	So at first many thanks for the great work done for DVB/VDR under 
linux, my card is pretty new, and I made it work with vdr (at least for 
some time, now it's not working).

	And the first question: how to find/configure the file describing the 
channel frequencies? I downloaded dvr and the siemens driver, I did not 
find anything for scanning the frequencies and quams.

	What about this ARM stuff in gnufirm?? Do I have an ARM-processor on 
my card (a quick look at the components, I did not see anything with 
"ARM")? If yes, what it is used for? I could not find any clue about 
this in the libdvb api documentation.

	And what about data channels? It may raise privacy issues, but I 
really would like to know if it's possible to sniff the data packets 
transmitted over a cable network.

	Maybe there is a FAQ for this kind of questions.

		Thanks for your help
