problems with dvb-c and vlc

[harmie]

Hi,

I'm trying to watch TV with vlc but it won't work for me. I'm using openSUSE 10.3 and vlc is installed from packman repository
I keep getting this error "dvb access warning: no lock, tuning again"

With kaffeine everything works just fine.

here is one line from my channel.conf file.
TV1:274000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6900000:FEC_NONE:QAM_128:512:650:17

This is the command that I'm trying to use:
vlc -vvv dvb: --program=17 --dvb-adapter=0 --dvb-frequency=274000000 --dvb-srate=6900000
VLC media player 0.8.6d Janus

Try to add modulation parameters:
--dvb-modulation=128
Here is my working example:
vlc -vvv --color --ts-es-id-pid --program=1 dvb: --dvb-frequency=806000000 --dvb-srate=6875000 --dvb-modulation=64
Are Your DVB card working with other programs l.ike xine, mplayer or kaffeine?

Thanks that helped me
