Hi,I now compiled the vdr plugin xineliboutput-0.99rc and started command like this: #./vdr -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --video=xv --noremote",now the vdr screen comes up and I did the keyboard key learning.

but the vdr screen always shows "channel not available" on green and red background bar.

I realised that it maybe the /video/channels.conf file need edit according to my satellite/channel parameters,but how?

This is my channels.conf generated by scan util: ------------------- [0163]:12301:h:0:25600:0:0:355 [01c4]:12301:h:0:25600:0:0:452 [0164]:12301:h:0:25600:0:0:356 [0165]:12301:h:0:25600:0:0:357 [0161]:12541:h:0:25600:0:0:353 JCTV:12581:h:0:25600:165:100:16 TBN:12581:h:0:25600:166:104:17 4UTV:12581:h:0:25600:173:132:24 [0160]:12581:h:0:25600:0:0:352 [0162]:12661:h:0:25600:0:0:354 -------------------------------- and after I use "./szap -l 11300 -c /home/zhuhx/channels.conf "JCTV" -r" I can lock the unencryted channel "JCTV". then I can use "xine stdin://mpeg2</dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0" to view TV using xine.

but the channels.conf from vdr-1.4.0 is very different. how can I modify it?

Thanks and best regards, Paul ZHU
