Hi,
Back in November, channel Seven changed their fec_hi from 2/3 to 3/4
causing scans to not pick it up
( http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=39&newsID=982&display=news
). The new entry in the au-Melbourne file for channel seven should be:
# Seven
T 177500000 7MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE

I attached the complete updated file anyway.
Jeff

They are a pain.

Anyway, according to the web site that you quoted, all tuners that comply with Australian standards will cope without adjustment. Unfortunately not all tuners comply with Australian standards. :-(

Presumably all au-tuning_files should have their channel 7 entry updated. Can this be done at the data base end, or do all files have to be re-submitted? Also the GI in Brisbane is noted as changing as well.

I can confirm that the au-Brisbane scan file needs to change. It works now for me with the same channel 7 line that Jeff included above. Scan wasn't finding channel 7 without the change.

Quoted 5 lines

Did you just change fec_hi, or did you change the Guard Interval as well? The quoted web page states that the GI is now 1/16. (It is possible that your card is smart enough to sort out GI by itself, but not fec_hi.)

Sorry about the belated reply.... Yes, I changed the GI to 1/16.

Bruce,

That's OK.

Do you feel competent to submit an updated file for Brisbane?

I've already updated the files in the repo (the au-* files containing the string "seven"), including the 1/8-->1/16 change for Brisbane.
