Can anyone please tell me how to create a list of terrestrial TV channels to be able to watch TV using VLC?
Hi From the forum circa 2009;
scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB -o zap | tee ~/channels.conf
Modify file scanned as required, channels.conf is/was recognized by VLC. Thank you Malcolm.
Just the information I was looking for :-) .
While I have no idea of what '-o zap | tee ~/channels.conf' is supposed to do, I was able, with some slight modification, to produce a channel list of ALL the channels I have available which VLC now displays on my monitor and which I was able to view until a couple of days ago :-) .
(The most important bit which produces the result for me to have *all* the digital channels available for me as in the past was use the 'auto-Australia' file in '/usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/'. Using the 'au-Canberra-Black-Mt' file produced only a short list of digital TV channels. )
Once again, thank you, Malcolm, for remembering what was mentioned in the Forum way back in 2009 or so :-) .

Hi The only reason I remembered because i wrote about it ;) I have a usb device which I need to patch and recompile the au8028 kernel module if/when I want to use it for FTA channels here.
Whatever the reason, the main thing is that you remembered :-) . I knew that I did something those years ago but couldn't remember what that was. I have now made the entry in my "little black book" for future reference :-) .
