[vdr] dvbtune / xml2vdr trouble

[Harf Zatschler <hz3@doc.ic.ac.uk>]

Hi all

I've got myself a WinTV Nova-T (PCI) recently and am trying to get this
to run smoothly under linux.
For the CVS versions of both the driver and dvbtune everything works
fine apart from scanning for stations using the scan_uk-t.sh script. It
gives me some xlm output (repeated at the end of this message) but
xml2vdr just returns a 0 byte file. Addtionally I can't see any VID or
AIDs in the xml - shouldn't those be in there??



The closest transponder is Crystal Palace (UK) and the signal is quite
good:

[root@penny scripts]# ./scan_uk-t.sh > latest.xmlsat

... more of the same kind of stuff ...

Any help would be most appreciated!!
