how can I create a czap config file without an sample config file for my environment

Hello all,

I wanted to create the channel config files for my environment, but there is no scan example configuration that works for my environment, I do have the websites with tabels of the frequencys. How do i create my channel.conf ....

sudo apt-get install dvb-utils

# dvb-c channels:
firefox http://www.upc.nl/frequencies_gm.php?GM=0493 &

# dvb-t channels:
firefox http://www.digitenne.nl/pagina_49.html &

# make directorys to store channel configurations
mkdir --verbose ~/.{t,c}zap

scan --help
sudo scan -A 1/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/..... > ~/.tzap/channels.conf
sudo scan -A 2 /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-c/.... > ~/.czap/channels.conf

Hi Jelle,

In case you want to use DVB-C, the Pinnacle Hybrid Pro 330e does NOT support DVB-C, only analogue TV.
This device only supports DVB-T and analogue TV (which has nothing to do with DVB-C or DVB-S)
You might try kaffeine for scanning for DVB-T channels.

for creating a custom scanfile you need some information about the dvb-t transponder.
T 482000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE
T 762000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM16 8k 1/4 NONE

the Pinnacle 330e is capable of autodetecting everything beside the first 2 entries (frequency, bandwidth)

There are tools available for creating scanfiles and running the bruteforce method:

look at Schritt 4, or tar xfvj dvbt-scanaid-0.03.tar.bz2

I haven't had a look at that link first, this seems to be an analogue TV frequency list and not DVB-C.

you might try to install this tvtime version, it's patched to work with your device and autodetect the corresponding audio device.

Take a look at this page(German):
http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html
or this page(English):

w_scan should do the trick.
