hi,

it's like holger said already..
if you get outcommand errors, there must be something wrong (thats the sin
of the word 'error')

but there can be another reason, then a hardware fault.
are you shure, that your frequencies are correct, and that your cable tv
provider really provides digital tv??

i have the same problems with my really small sattelite dish. if the dish
isn't in the right position, and the driver can't get a sync, i will get
outcommand errors and sometimes the arm crashes.

so please get rid of the things i said above..
