Hey all,

The channels-conf directory in the dtv-scan-tables repository is bitrotten. Besides tw-All, the newest addition is over 6 years ago, with some being as old as 9 years. While I'm sure it's possible that the channels-conf are still accurate, it's not really needed any longer.

Unless valid reasons are brought up to keep it, I will move it to a seperate branch and delete it from the master branch in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Oliver

Sorry for my off-topic, because dvb-apps' 'scan' utility output wrong encoding of channels-conf in Taiwan, that's why 'tw-All' channels-conf is still useful for some Taiwan people. Or someone could review my patch about this encoding issue? ([PATCH][dvb-apps] Fix 'scan' utility region 0x14 encoding from BIG5 to UTF-16BE)

Thanks,

Huei-Horng Yo

Did you notify the maintainer? of the dvb-apps? I think manu is still one of the dvb-apps maintainers.
