Salut Tibor,

How to use a bt8xx sat. card?

Step 1: Consult your Linux guru, install and configure everything. EZ

Step 2: Look at something (isn't that the goal?)
This is Linux: let's have fun...

1) with dvbstream

dvbstream -f <freq. in MHz> -p <V (Vertical) or H (Horizontal)> -s
<symbol rate in KHz> -o -ps <Video ID> <Audio ID> | mplayer <your best
options> -

Watch out: the "-" at the end of the mplayer options is mandatory.
The -o option send the stream to the standard output (STDOUT) so that we
may pipe ("|") it to the next program (mplayer).
The -ps <Video ID> <Audio ID> option turn the default transport stream
(TS) output into a program stream (PS) containing the selected video and
audio streams.

2) with szap & ts2ps

I like this one because the "scan" utility generate a full list of the
available channels. People with more than one transponder (LNB) may no
like it.

Open 2 shells (A.K.A windows).

In the first one, run the tuner:
szap -r "<channel name>"
Let the programm run when watching.

In the other shell, run the viewer:
ts2ps /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 0 0 | mplayer <your best options> -
or if you know the Video and Audio IDs:
ts2ps /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 <Video ID> <Audio ID> | mplayer <your best
options> -

Every time you zap (change channel) in the first shell, you have to
restart the viewer in the other one.

3) tuxzap looks like a good one...

Good luck.
