Subject: dvb-t: searching for channels
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:45:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901101645.51230.malte.gell@gmx.de> (raw)

Hello,

I just purchased a Hauppauge Nova DVB-T USB stick and the kernel module and 
firmware recognizes it well. I have first used Kaffeine to search for channels, 
but it has found none. 

To be sure I even bought a better, an active dvb-t antenna with a 20dB 
amplifier. And now I used dvbscan to scan for channels, I invoked it like this:

dvbscan -out channels /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Mannheim

Is this the better way? It takes now longer than 15 minutes, is this normal? 
Is dvbscan more reliable than kaffeine for searching for channels? If I still 
find no channels, what could be the cause? In my region dvb-t signals are said 
to be not too well.

thanx
Malte
