If you think it would be better posted to the developers list then I will do that.</span></font></div>

I've been trying to get DVBlast up and running so I can use it to stream 4:2:2 DVB-S2 feeds to VLC under Linux. Unfortunately I'm having no luck so far, although I have got it picking up normal streams. Here are some examples of commands I can use to successfully pick up some normal DVB-S streams (motor is being manually moved before i invoke any commands):<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">

If I manually add a transponder in Kaffeine which I know has a feed on (12677000 horizontal, S/R 6666000) and scan, it picks up a service labeled "TV-UNIT D207 B". Unfortunately xine doesn't handle 4:2:2 streams otherwise I would just use that for playback - instead it crashes. There doesn't seem to be any sort of Linux based 4:2:2 playback solution other than a combination of DVBlast & VLC.<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">
