Can't find a config file for the DVB-T countries

Hi,

Sadly this information is hard coded. The easiest way to do it, is to find
an other country that use the same frequencies (try them to find out).
Then, when we have the information, I can add the only line of code
necessary to the base code.

If there is no other country using the same frequency, we have to manually
find them, then create a new function in the code to include it.

You can instead use the program "w-scan" to scan for channels and create a
"channels.conf" then import it in me-tv.

Cheers,
Frederic

With DVB-T there are three bandwidths used: - 8MHz (95% of all countries), 7MHz (just Australia and New Zealand) and 6MHz (the countries that use NTSC for analog)

The problem with Colombia, Panama, Philippines and Taiwan is that there isn't any others that use 6MHz.
(ie the multiplexes are on 473MHz, 479MHz, 485MHz.....)

When you say the countries list is hard coded, is it stored within the operating system itself?

The w_scan approach is useful but it would be better to expand the drop down to allow scanning for all or one of these countries within me-tv itself.

Not in the operating itself but in the program me-tv. I have to change the
source code then wait until the ecosystem pick up the modification.

You can download the source code, make the modification youself then
compile the source code to test it. (I can help you with that off list)

As I said, the modification itself is not that hard but finding the right
frequency is the hard part (since I can't do it myself).

Cheers,
Fred

Thanks - I've contacted the developers at dvb-apps as I couldn't see anything in your code pertaining to the countries drop down.
