[SOLVED} linux-dvb-apps initial scan files

replabrobin · 2014-03-29 17:16:07

Anyone know where to find the linux-dvb-apps initial scan files. They used to be under /usr/share/dvb/, but the latest linux-dvb-apps package just lists contents in /usr/share/dvb/av7110_loadkeys/

Failing that has anyone got a decent scan file for uk-CrystalPalace?

Seems I need to google harder as this has already come up

You could give w_scan from the aur a try.

I have tried w_scan, but I always seem to get too many base frequencies. When I run scan using the result as an initial file I get duplicate channels with different parameters eg QAM64 vs QSPK etc etc. Sometimes all of the duplicates open in VLC other times none. I guess I must be doing something wrong or maybe I am picking up more than one transmitter.

You are most probably picking up signals from various transmitters, there is not much to do besides sifting through all of them and selecting the ones that work or have a better snr.

I guess what might help is also looking at the output of w_scan as it does the scan, it might say that it found broadcasts with alternate/duplicate frequencies.
