<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi All,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I
just wanted to pick peoples brains, to see if anyone has come across the
below before..... I have recently bought a Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 (DVB-S)
card.... I've 'borrowed' a normal Sky Mini Dish, and set it up, and
using a satellite finder it appears to have a good signal. I've pulled
the latest v4l drivers, and installed them, and all appears to be well,
upto a point:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> When
I scan for channels, they appear to be found, but in the output I don't
get channels names, just 4 'random' characters:</font>

I guess some things are working?</font>

may have completely missed something.... I've been using DVB-T for ages,

would be appreciated</font>

included the output of the dvb commands above as they're easier to document,
