As the streaming@ one is the one suggested for user support I have signed up to it and here is my issue. If you think it would be better posted to the developers list then I will do that. I've been trying to get DVBlast up and running so I can use it to stream 4:2:2 DVB-S2 feeds to VLC under Linux. Unfortunately I'm having no luck so far, although I have got it picking up normal streams. Here are some examples of commands I can use to successfully pick up some normal DVB-S streams (motor is being manually moved before i invoke any commands): VIVA Polska from 13e: dvblast -c dvblast.conf -f 11075000 -a 0 -n 0 -e -t 3 -v 13 -s 27500000 BBC One 28.2e: dvblast -c dvblast.conf -f 10773000 -a 0 -n 0 -e -t 3 -v 18 -s 22000000 Al Jazeera 10e: dvblast -c dvblast.conf -f 11140000 -a 0 -n 0 -e -t 3 -v 18 -s 2894000 Each command would list the relevant SIDs which I could then put in my dvblast.conf and stream through VLC. 10e has a large amount of feeds so that is the one I'm trying to focus on at the moment. If I manually add a transponder in Kaffeine which I know has a feed on (12677000 horizontal, S/R 6666000) and scan, it picks up a service labeled "TV-UNIT D207 B". Unfortunately xine doesn't handle 4:2:2 streams otherwise I would just use that for playback - instead it crashes. There doesn't seem to be any sort of Linux based 4:2:2 playback solution other than a combination of DVBlast & VLC. Unfortunately if I try and hit the same frequency / symbol rate with dvblast that with DVBlast it picks up nothing and just gives lots of the following to the console: debug: frontend has acquired signal debug: frontend has acquired carrier debug: frontend has lost carrier debug: frontend has acquired carrier debug: frontend has lost carrier debug: frontend has acquired carrier debug: frontend has lost carrier I seem to recall it also did this when I tried to pick up BBC HD from 28.2e but I'm not in a position to test that again at the moment. Adding -m qpsk or -m psk_8 do nothing either. Has anyone succesfully used DVBlast to pick up anything DVB-S2? For reference I'm using a WinTV Nova HD DVB-S2 card. I've compiled the latest v4l-dvb as well as the latest dvblast from Subversion.
