That would give this scenario for anyone starting to use their new TV-card: 1. chose the frequency-name -> frequency mapping table 2. chose the station-name -> frequency-name mapping table ..and that the second mapping table is useless without the first (if a basic frequency is what you are after). -- Frode Vatvedt Fjeld To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
