Dear Maintainer,

Dear Debian Maintainer,

when performing a DVB-T frequency scan with the /usr/bin/scan utility (dvb-apps package) and the /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fr-All frequency file (dtv-scan-tables packages) the following 2 problems occur :

1) file parsing error :
ERROR: invalid enum value '8MHZ'
ERROR: invalid enum value '8K'

2) in the end no DVB-T services are found with a Hauppauge NOVA-TD-500 DVB-T card.

Those problems seem to come from the /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fr-All file.

The following changes are proposed in this file :

For 1) :
- 8MHZ changed by 8MHz
- 8K changed by 8k

For 2) :
- change FEC_HI parameter by AUTO

Thus the 1st frequency line of the file would be changed like that :

(quoted diff) +1 -1
-T 474000000 8MHZ 2/3 NONE QAM64 8K 1/32 NONE #Channel UHF 21
+T 474000000 8MHz AUTO NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE #Channel UHF 21

(Please refer to the end of the mail for the complete modified file).

Thanks to those modifications I successfully performed a DVB-T scan with the NOVA TD-500 card.

In case more information is needed don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,
Fred

Apologies to all involved, I overlooked this e-mail. I patched it to fix the casing as suggested in the e-mail and pushed it upstream. Can you please test it?
