Re: [linux-dvb] TechniSat SkyStar HD: Problems scaning and zaping

[Vangelis Nonas <vnonas@otenet.gr>]

Hello,

I tried scanning with the 7201 changeset and I believe the results are 
better than the 7205 changeset. In the former case I get 2082 services 
on hotbird, in the latter 1722.

I'll shortly send kernel logs for a failing transponder during scan.

And something else:
When I give to scan the parameter -o vdr it will not output the results 
after a complete scan.


Regards
Vagelis
