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 :-) .
