it was actually my hauppage pvr350 card that is not a dvb card.

I used the scan utility and used symbolrate 22000 to scan and not 27500,
now I have some channels where I can lock on with szap. So the cards
works.

I can setup szap in a console, let it run and then use mplayer to play
from /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 with mplayer. But I can't play without using
szap and use

mplayer dvb://somechannel
or xine dvb://somechannel

I did copied the channel.conf file to the right locations. Is mplayer
and xine dvb support broken ? (I tested with mplayer 1.0pre3 and cvs
version, xine-ui-0.9.22, xine-lib-1_rc2)

For info using 2.6.3 gentoo kernel with dvb 1.1.1 drivers

Thanks for the help

Bart
