Do you have some working device (saa7134?)? If yes, use it to generate channels.conf and when you has working channels.conf you could use tzap to tune. If not, then make channels conf by hand make file .tzap/channels.conf then add line to that file: TEST:634000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE:512:650:17 replace 634000000 (634MHz) frequency of your transmitter. I think 8Mhz bandwidth is used for your area too, but if not change it to 7MHz. Other values are not critical as those are detected automatically. After that you could tune: tzap -r TEST Antti > > Many thanks. > Diorser. > > On Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:26:32 +0100, Antti Palosaari >> Patch looks correct. >>> >> If you are talking of that error I saw wiki you mentioned it is not >> error.
