Hey fellows,

I am a fresh starter with freebsd but I am pretty exited about it the last couple of days.
I bought a N36L from HP and it fits my needs perfectly.
4x2TB as raidz1 (previously on debian with zfs-fuse) and a couple of services I am playing around with.

My current problem is that I can't bring the CT-3650 I bought to work with vdr-1.7.
webcamd finds them and the device is created, but I could not get any DVB-C bouqet.
I try to debug this by adding some parameters, but besides the "Creating*"-output I failed.

# webcamd -m dvb-ttusb-budget.debug=1 dvb_frontend.frontend_debug=1 dvb-pll.debug=1 ttusb_dec.debug=1 dvb-usb-init.debug=31
Attached ugen1.4[0] to cuse unit 0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
Creating /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
Creating /dev/input/event0

On my debian machine the DVB-box works fine. I also have DVB-S boxes, but no dish to test it.
I entertain suspicion that the DVB-CT box (it is for DVB-T and DVB-C) thinks it has to tune for DVB-T and not DVB-C.
But I am not sure.

Anyone who can give me a hint?
Christian
