Hi again folks, i want to use command scan, from dvb-apps, just to read only one frequency. Every time i use scan i read every frequency i'm receiving but i just want to read one in particulate. Can you help me?
With most regards,

Miguel.
 


What command are you running should be
Code:
dvbv5-scan ~/dvbc-test
Are you using ATSC or PAL or SECAM or NTSC ?
also dvbv5 does not support all satellites
For only one frequency you would have to create a manual manual dvb-channels.conf file also there is a gtk frontend for dvbv5 here https://github.com/vl-nix/dvbv5-gtk

Sorry i'm new at this and i don't know with protocol it is. But i did some research and i find than i need to enable some drivers:

  • Enable DVB_TEST_DRIVERS, then
  • Enable DVB_VIDTV

Can you help me to enable it?

That is for vidtv not dvbv5 - in order to scan you need to install dvb the v5 is Version5 so that would be
Code:
sudo apt install dvb-tools
if you have Synaptic Package Manager installed open it and search for "dvb" ensure you have the following installed or install them - dvb-tools, dvb-apps, w-scan

w_scan scans for DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, DVB-C and ATSC channels and creates a
channels.conf, that can be used directly by the Linux Video Disc Recorder VDR.

Are you using Ubuntu or an OS based on it?

Just for curiosity, do you know how to do channels.conf for dvbv5-zap?
For example i did a channels.conf but i getting:


ERROR value AUTO is invalid for INNER_FEC while parsing line 4 of channels.conf

INNER_FEC value cannot be AUTO it should be something like 3/4 or 1/4 or 1/2
You can get the FEC values for satellites here - https://www.lyngsat.com/

Have a look here - https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dvbv5-zap

To see the manual for w-scan use
Code:
man w-scan
Code:
w_scan -fa -A1 -c US -x
to change it to whatever country you want simply change the US to the two digit identifier for your country
Country code list is here - https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm

So when i do w_scan, the dvbv5-zap it's still doesn't working!
