 All tables are now using DVBv5 format. That allows suporting all standards
 available on a standard way.
 
+GENERATING FILES TO THE LEGACY DVBV3 FORMAT
+===========================================
+
 A Makefile target is provided to convert to the legacy channel format.
 For it to work, you need to have v4l-utils installed (specifically,
 the v4l-utils package that contains the dvbv5 utils).
@@ -36,3 +39,37 @@ Plese notice that comments are not preserved when doing the conversions.
 PS.: If you're willing to submit new entries and/or corrections, please
 be sure to send them at the DVBv5 format and sending them via e-mail
 to linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
+
+INSTALL
+=======
+
+In order to install the files, use:
+	$ make install
+
+By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv5.
+
+In order to install the legacy v3 formatted files, use:
+	$ make install_v3
+
+Don't forget to run "make dvbv3" before running the above command,
+in order to convert the files to the legacy format.
+
+By default, it will install the files at /usr/local/share/dvbv3.
+
+There are a few extra parameters that could be used to define where
+the files will be stored:
+
+	PREFIX=<dir>		(default: /usr/local)
+	DATADIR=<dir>		(default: $(PREFIX/share)
+	DVBV5DIR=<subdir>	(default: dvbv3)
+	DVBV3DIR=<subdir>	(default: dvbv5)
+
+So, if it is desired to install both v3 and v5 files at a tmp file,
+under the current dir, the install command would be:
+
+	$ make install install_v3 PREFIX=`pwd`/tmp
+	Installing dvbv5-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv5...done.
+	Installing dvbv3-formatted files at /home/myuser/dtv-scan-tables/tmp/share/dvbv3...done.
+
+Please also note that install takes some time, as there are lots
+of files to be copied.
