[Sussex] Ubuntu + Nova T 500

[Diego Moore]

Hi all,

I bought a Nova T 500 DVB tuner on the basis the www.effecientpc.co.uk use
this tuner and somehow manage to sell MythTV systems. It sounded like a
pretty safe choice but after more than a month of tinkering around (when I
have spare time!) I still have not been able to tune into anything.

I don't have the specifics to hand right now but here is my rough
conclusion:
1. I'm fairly certain it's configured and up and running
2. I've run a scan for Midhurst, Reigate, Crystal Palace and others. Most
return nothing very quickly however Midhurst take a while to find, well
nothing!
3. I also found wscan and gave this a go but still found nothing
4. While I don't have a freview box to check the signal I do remember
plugging a LCD with a built in digital tuner and it picked up Freeview fine.
I have tried the above in more than one socket in the house though...

Having done some Googling I am starting to think that the scanner on this
DVB tuner does not work and all I need are the correct details on the
channels.conf

Does this sound right? If so would somone local (Horsham) be kind enough to
send me their channels.conf?

Many thanks,
Diego
