WinTV DVB-T usb tuning problems

Hi,

So far i have got my SuSE 10.0 Box to recognise the device, but when i try and scan for channels (on pontop pike)i get the following output

Code:

linux:/home/ian/linuxtv/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.0/util/scan # ./scan dvb-t/uk-PontopPike

scanning dvb-t/uk-PontopPike

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

initial transponder 690000000 0 1 0 1 0 0 0

>>> tune to: 690000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_1_2:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE

WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!

Done.

What is going wrong, i know my transmitter is DEFFENETLY pontop pike, so why am i not recieving any signals?

well ..congratulations !!

am stuck in this for about 3 months ! i can't even make linux recognize the device !

can u plz tell me how did u make it ?!
the moduls are loaded in the kernel but no device ..

SuSE detected it as soon as i plugged it in, Fedora Core should also have the capabilities to do this, if not, you will need to modprobe the device.

Anyone got any idea on how to get my box to tune then?

I realise this is over a year now, but I have EXACTLY the same problem. The USB card is detected, seems to work ok, but I can't get any channels from Pontop Pike. How did you get it to work?
