Can anyone please tell me how to create a list of terrestrial TV channels to be able to watch TV using VLC?
I have been using such a list for a very, very long time but two (2) days ago all our local channels changed frequencies following all the channels going digital (even though some were already digital, but now all are digital).
I created the list of channels for VLC way back in the "dim past" but now I cannot remember how I did it. I cannot see anywhere in the docs for VLC where this is covered.
So, if someone can help out here I would be grateful to hear from them. I don't know what you already tried, but /usr/bin/atscscan looks

I did a "zypper se dvb", followed by "zypper in dvb dvbtune" (which brings along dtv-scan-tables, which contains /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/au-Canberra-Black-Mt). So my guess is that you have these packages already installed.
I can't test it, because my office box unfortunately does not include a dvb-t card ;)
Regards, Werner Thanks, Werner, for your response. I couldn't see anywhere '/usr/bin/atscscan' but even if it existed there were no instructions on how to use dvdtune (which I assume it was pointing to). rpm -qf /usr/bin/atscscan dvb-1.1.1_20120913-9.1.x86_64
This is one of the two packages I installed, where I (obviously wrongly) assumed that you already had them installed.
In the meantime, I found a 5 year old blog, where the package "linuxtv-dvb-apps" from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/ was mentioned. I guess this is what Malcolm suggested.
Glad to hear that you are watching TV again :)
Werner
Thank you , Werner. Believe me I, too, am glad that I have my TV back again :-) . My wife and I have different viewing tastes so she watches her programs in the lounge room and I watch my shows on my monitor screen - and switch over to play Spider when the commercials start :-) .
