When I type in that particular command I get this: # pvr250-setchannel -a on -t -m 2 205.250 ioctl( tfd, METEORSINPUT ) failed.: Invalid argument The -t flag is causing this particular error message... I can remove it and this particular error message will go away, but I realize this doesn't help since we want to send the signal to the tuner. I do not have an IR Blaster setup, my computer is only setup to "listen in" on my main satellite feed. This has been working prior using the other driver, just FYI. /var/log/messages reports: Feb 27 18:21:47 mymachine kernel: could not config dec Feb 27 18:21:47 mymachine kernel: could not start encoder Feb 27 18:22:31 mymachine kernel: cxm0: video decoder failed to lock Feb 27 18:22:32 mymachine kernel: cxm0: audio decoder failed to lock I'll check on my physical connections in just a few minutes... ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org --Apple-Mail-26-1037964664 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFF5L3ECgdfeCwsL5ERAkMSAJ4sKtfWDLjilh3oANpFc2iHqlA+CwCfdmmW x2VuGcQ1d473IUw1YjlljJc= =8Ch+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-26-1037964664--
