Description of problem: VDR cannot tune my PCTV 290e DVB-T2 adapter into any HD channel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vdr-1.6.0-40.fc15.i686 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug DVB-T2 adapter into PC. 2. Generate new channels.conf file for w_scan, confirming that HD channels are present. 3. Start VDR, and select one of the HD channels. Actual results: VDR front end displays blank window with message "No signal", and entries in channels.conf file are not updated. Expected results: VDR displays HD channel. Additional info: The lines in my channels.conf file say: BBC HD;BBC:554000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:101:0:0:0:17472:0:0:0 BBC One HD;BBC:554000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:6601:0:0:0:17540:0:0:0 ITV1 HD;ITV:554000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:201:0:0:0:17604:0:0:0 Channel 4 HD;CHANNEL FOUR:554000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:301:0:0:0:17664:0:0:0 I am expecting VDR to replace the "999" values with the tuned results. This is almost certainly already fixed in VDR 1.7.x.
VDR 1.7.21 is now in Rawhide. I don't have a way to test DVB-T2 myself nor do I plan to push the 1.7.x update to F-16 and earlier due to its development status and potential backward compatibility issues, but if you're adventurous, this is what I'm currently running with my F-15 based VDR setup: 1) vdr and vdr-text2skin Rawhide SRPMS locally rebuilt for F-15 in mock. The Rawhide vdr binary package would require a glibc upgrade, and the text2skin binary package from Rawhide doesn't work on F-15 due to some GraphicsMagick differences. 2) All other vdr* packages I use are from Rawhide as is: installed the fedora-release-rawhide package and added these lines to /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo's [rawhide] section: includepkgs=vdr* exclude=vdr-1* vdr-text2skin
