It goes like this; if I run the command with the frequency 196.25, it succeeds. I then change to another frequncy, which also succeds. But some times, it fails, and that might be on a frequency that was working just a minute ago. > > and after that I can use 'mplayer /dev/cxm0' (or gmplayer, if I want a gui). > For some reason, mplayer fails sometimes, with "seek failed". > > Also, the picture quality is very bad most of the time, with the occasional momentarily *totally* *crisp* picture. > Lots of interference and a "blurry" picture. > Whether this has something to do with my cabling or with the PVR-350 itself, I cannot tell. But I don't see such bad quality on the recordings from my KnoppMyth backend, which is on the same cable via a T-junction split). It does have a PVR-500 card instead, so ther is a difference. Oh, I'm using analog cable as my signal source. does adding "-a on" help? regards, usleep
