I'm running a scan (which I assume is the old scandvb?? which I can't find anymore) on both of my mythtv Debian boxes. My master back end has a Kworld 110 and my newer slave front end has a Kworld 120 card. I'm only running "v4l dvb staging" on the newer slave front end. The scan output on the master back end shows 33 services. While the scan output on the new slave front end shows 0 services. I should next check the antenna hook up on the slave front end - but, if anything, it should be a good +3dB better then the slave back end (having one less splitter). I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had success with the Kworld 120 in a mythtv box. ...thanks. -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
