The FEC settings are not stipulated by the government as part of the
license and a number of broadcasters claim that the transmission
parameters are subject to change.
Additionally, the old settings were fec_lo=NONE, which is not completely
accurate, since the observed values are never NONE. The code in scan
will substitute FEC_AUTO for FEC_NONE, but we might as well be explicit.
ACMA.gov.au now considers the Sydney metropolitan area as one TLAP
(television license area plan) and has allocated new frequencies
which cover all the transmitters that were previously split between
au-Sydney_North_Shore (main transmitters) and au-Sydney_Kings_Cross
(in-fill transmitters).
The Sydney digital restack was completed on 18 Mar 2014.
Auto scan came from digitaluk rather than Ofcom as they have taken too
long to update.
They now only have single spaces between columns.

Hello Oliver,
Seeing as you're the owner of the dtv-scan-tables GIT repository, I
thought I'd contact you regarding this. In Finland we've had a second
DVB-T provider for about the last 1 year. Instead of the former state
owned broadcaster Digita, there's another provider called DNA now. I
extracted the frequency data from their website and create scanfiles
based on that. I named them fi-DNA-<cityname>. Maybe you can include
them in the GIT repository as I don't have access?
Thanks!
Cheers,
-olli

Hi, please find attached a scan table for au-Melbourne-Selby. This file
is very similar to the scan table file for au-Melbourne-Upwey (which I
was able to use until quite recently). However the fec_hi value of "2/3"
for SBS no longer works for me, and I need to use "AUTO" instead. I
don't know if this change also affects the Upwey repeater.
Details on the geographic locations of these repeaters can be found here:
Upwey: http://www20.sbs.com.au/transmissions/index.php?pid=2&id=795
Selby: http://www20.sbs.com.au/transmissions/index.php?pid=2&id=792
Note that the Selby repeater actually covers the parts of Upwey which
are not able to get signal from the Upwey repeater, due to hilly
terrain. Although they use identical frequencies, the polarisation is
different.
I assume AUTO allows the DVB tuner to choose one of the FEC types
dynamically, though I don't know if this is supported by all tuners. If
there's a way I can find out which actual fec_hi is in use, please let
me know and I will supply it.
I have provided a brief write-up at
http://pyarra.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/mythtv-and-sbs-in-dandenong-ranges.html
- please let me know if there is further information I can provide.
Regards,
Philip.

Thanks for your mail. The scan files have been split out into a
separate package called dtv-scan-tables. Therefore I am reassigning it
to d-s-t. Oliver Schinagl (CC'd) is the upstream dtv-scan-tables
maintainer. I have reattached your cz-All-actual-2013 for his consideration.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi,
I wanted to watch TV today with kaffeine 1.2.2-2 from debian and noticed
that it didn't work anymore. Also scans even after the update of the
initial tuning data didn't show all tv stations. Just replacing the
entry for dvb-c/de-Primacom in ~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/scanfile.dvb
with the one from http://narfation.org/misc/dvbc/de-Primacom fixed the
problem for me after the next scan for tv stations.

Hi Oliver
While you're in the renaming mood, 'ch-Zuerich-cablecom' could also be
renamed to 'ch-Zuerich-upc-cablecom' with the following content
(according to the cablcom's website, the tuning data still seems to be
correct):
# upc cablecom
# Zurich, Switzerland
# freq sr fec mod
C 410000000 6900000 NONE QAM64
So, and now I stop bothering you ;)
Cheers and thanks again for your work!

The Frequency for NL has changed recently. Anything above channel 60
is no longer allowed and thus has been removed. Also some other changes
due to the destruction and rebuilding of 'Hoogersmilde'.
Reported by Geert Hedde Bosman <geert.hedde.bosman@gmail.com>
Hello,
in summer 2012 in the Netherlands major frequency changes took place in DVB-t broadcast. Some new
frequencies were added as well. Therefore the frequency-file dvb/dvb-t/nl-All is no longer
actual. Could someone (i believe Cristoph P. is one of the maintainers) please update this file?
The website http://radio-tv-nederland.nl/ provides an up to date frequency list.
As an example: i had to add the following line to the file 'nl-All' to get the FTA tv-stations in
the north of the Netherlands as it was missing:
T 674000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE

Dear linux-dvb Members
I would like to kindly ask you to add the two attached new scan list to your repository.
http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/file/5e68946b0e0d/util/scan/dvb-c
The files will add new entries for two cable networks in Switzerland:
- GGA Pratteln
- interGGA
They are both fully non-encrypted free-to-air networks but also contain some pay-tv transponders.
Hi everyone,
as we are now in a process of turning into dvb-t in Poland I would like to help others setting their tuners.
Here it is the file PL-Czestochowa
Not 2/3. This I inappropriatelly got from the website. But it is
wrong. 3/4 is definitely correct. Change that so that we can actually
tune that multiplex.
