    Using your DVB card for watching Digital TV (DVB input module)

    + +

    First you need to pass the dvb_shutdown_timeout=0 parameter + to the kernel module dvb-core, or MPlayer will die after 10 + seconds.

    + +

    You should also have the programs scan and + szap/tzap/czap installed; they are all included in the drivers + package.

    + +

    Verify that your drivers are working properly with a program such as + dvbstream + (that is the base of the DVB input module).

    + +

    Now you should compile a ~/.mplayer/channels.conf file, + with the syntax accepted by szap/tzap/czap, or have + scan compile it for you.

    + +

    Make sure that you have have only Free to Air channels in your + channels.conf file, or MPlayer will hang on the others.

    + +

    To show the first of the channels present in your list, run

    + +
    +  mplayer dvb://
+
    + +

    If you want to watch a specific channel, such as R1, run

    + +
    +  mplayer dvb://R1
+
    + +

    To change channels press the 'h' (next) and 'k' + (previous) keys, or use the OSD menu (requires a working + OSD subsystem).

    + +

    If your ~/.mplayer/menu.conf contains a <dvbsel> + entry, such as the one in the example file etc/dvb-menu.conf + (that you can use to overwrite ~/.mplayer/menu.conf), the + main menu will show a sub-menu entry that will permit you to choose + one of the channels present in your channels.conf.

    + +

    If you want to save a program to disk you can use

    + +
    +  mplayer -dumpfile r1.ts -dumpstream dvb://R1
+
    + +

    If you want to record it in a different format (re-encoding it) instead you + can run a command such as

    + +
    +  mencoder -o r1.avi -ovc xvid -xvidenctopts bitrate=800 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -vf ci dvb://R1
+
    + +

    Read the man page for a list of options that you can pass to the DVB + input module.
