$ azap -c channels.conf "CJOH"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
ERROR: error while parsing Audio PID (not a number)

$ tzap -c channels.conf "CJOH"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file 'channels.conf'
ERROR: error while parsing inversion (syntax error)

Why does tzap show what file it is reading the channel list from but azap doesn't?

What does "ERROR: error while parsing Audio PID (not a number)" mean?

If I recall, tzap and azap are actually from different codebases (although I believe one was originally derived from the other). That is why the output is a little inconsistent.

That said, you should not be using tzap for ATSC/ClearQAM. tzap is for DVB-T.

I don't know where your channels.conf came from, but it appears to be malformed. You cannot have "52+53" as the audio PID. If you just want to get up and running, remove the "+53" part.

I used:
w_scan -f a -c US -M
(mplayer format)

I redid it with:
w_scan -f a -c US -X
(czap/tzap/szap/xine)
and got:
CIII-HD:85000000:8VSB:49:52:1

It is weird there is not a standard format. :-)
