DVB-T scan (using w_scan) produces no results Is this happening after each reboot? As far as I'm concerned, I've never had problems with DVB-T scans. > 3. Analog seems to work, but with very poor quality I just tried to use Analog TV in order to confirm the problem but I cannot get any picture. Maybe I just don't know how to use it. I'm using commands like (I'm located in France): mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=SECAM:chanlist=france -tvscan autostart ... and just get some "snow" on scanned channels. As I might have a problem with my antenna (an interior one), I am going to test it under Windows and report back my experience. Cheers, -- Albin Kauffmann
