hi dear all,
short list: 0.9.0-test3 Grishenko, kernel v4l modules compiled from today repo, kernel 2.6.27-0.297.rc5.git2.fc10.x86_64, dvb-s: tt skystar 1 ver. 1.3, and system is fedora rawhide

can you guys point my wrong doing? I'm novice thus assume it's rather me.
should mention that have tried a few other channels from that dvbscan output and errors as above
and before, on fedora repo's modules this same too
thank you guys, particularly developers that work on vlc
cheers

** update: it's definitely worth looking to dmesg, ( --dvb-srate 22000(these are M and should be K(+000)
now I'm a bit further but still stuck, here:

[00000356] dvb access debug: DMXSetFilter: DMX_PES_OTHER for PID 8192
[00000356] dvb access error: DMXSetFilter: failed with -1 (Invalid argument)
[00000356] dvb access error: DMXSetFilter failed
[00000356] dvb access debug: Opening device /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0

cheers

Hum, I guess that one of you settings is wrong. Could you generate a channels.conf file with dvbscan and open it in VLC to see if that works? (All the parameters should be automatically set from the channels.conf file)
