I am using some old git version (Jun 10), I'll try current as time allows. One of the T2s only has 2 channels anyway and as is normal AFAIK channels that aren't running at time of scan don't get audio/video pids listed, but the rest of the info is there. There is a timeout option eg -T 3 trebles the timeouts - maybe try that. > The whole point of my activity is to rewrite Me TV. This is intended > as a very lightweight DVB player.

Interesting, so you know a lot more than me about this stuff :-) Experience as a user of 292/290s - they do need some time/grace to tune in/stop spewing "junk". IIRC I added 5sec somewhere in TVH in addition to whatever it already uses. I guess going from T to T2 is worse - and then factor in that some T2s are much lower power than others. It did seem in the thread that I started where EAGAIN worked around, that the code was giving no grace at all and expecting to be able to parse stream content straight away. I may mis-remember though!
