I've tried to start start dvbstream:


       dvbstream -f 12441 -p v -s 27500 -v 512:1 -a 660:2

It seems to be running!

Then I open a new terminal and start:

  dvbstream 8192

dvbstream v0.4pre1 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001

DVR DEVICE: : Device or resource busy

then I try:

dvbstream 2127 armin    5r   CHR  250,5      388867 /dev/ost/dvr0

an lsmod says:

I'm new in working with DVB-cards.
Can you see what is missing or wrong?
Thanks anymore!
