The VideoLAN Forums

Hi everyone,

I'd like to watch DVB-C using VLC, because my TV program does not support HDTV.

So I choose "Capture Card", "Digital TV" and "DVB-C", type in 370000 kHz, 6900 bauds and select 256-QAM (should be the correct settings for ZDF). Then I get this error message:

Digital broadcasting:
The selected digital tuner does not support the specified parameters.
Please check the preferences.
Ihre Eingabe konnte nicht geöffnet werden:
VLC kann die MRL 'dvb-c://frequency=370000000:modulation=256QAM:srate=6900' nicht öffnen. Sehen Sie für Details im Fehlerprotokoll nach.

(sorry its in german )

What can I do to make it work? I had it working with an older VLC version (I don't remember which one), but since the Update it does not work anymore.

I use VLC 2.0.1 with Win7 64bit, and a WinTV HVR-930C USB Stick.

Thanks a lot in advance, maedden

ill be watching on the sideline...other settings but same problem

got another thread on the subject

6900 bauds for digital TV? Who are you trying to kid there?

6900000 bauds sounds more likely.
