Hi,

I would like to post my findings, but I just cannot figure out how to do that.
Could you please add a guide or a link to the README file?

I got dvbv5-scan, but in order to run it, it needs some input.
But I cannot find any info on what it actually wants.
I tried
w_scan -f c -x > dvbscaninput.txt
This finds a lot of data, but doesn't produce any output on STDOUT.

I also tried other output formats of w_scan which dvbv5-scan was unable to read.

I tried manually created:
[CHANNEL]
DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A
FREQUENCY = 266000000
SYMBOL_RATE = 6900000
INNER_FEC = NONE
MODULATION = QAM/256
INVERSION = AUTO

which resulted in:
ERROR command BANDWIDTH_HZ (5) not found during retrieve
Cannot calc frequency shift. Either bandwidth/symbol-rate is unavailable (yet).
Scanning frequency #1 266000000
Lock (0x1f) C/N= 36,50dB UCB= 24 postBER= 100x10^-3
ERROR dvb_read_sections: no data read on section filter
ERROR error while reading the NIT table
Service Sonnenklar TV, provider BetaDigital: digital television
[like 10 more ...]
Service Bibel TV, provider SES ASTRA: digital television

first, dvbscan did not produce the output expected. ie something to push into git.
second I expected dvbscan to fetch the other muxes automatically after it was able to tune on the first one.

thank you very much

I found out myself. Will probably add this to readme:

GENERATING DVBV5 FILES FOR THIS REPO
====================================
Install w_scan_cpp
Scan w_scan_cpp -f c -x > yourchannels.txt
while C stands for the type of DVB, one of A, C, S or T.

To publish the file: 
- fork the repo
- add the file to your repo
- then add a pull request

thanx
