Either the broadcasters provide them or people try as good they can. Since different channel decoders vary in the tolerance for having something wrong there, and also broadcasters often change something, with the tda10046 better try as recommended. > redeb:~/.tzap# cat dk-All > # Denmark, whole country > # Created from http://www.digi-tv.dk/Indhold_og_tilbud/frekvenser.asp > # T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy > T 482000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 506000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 538000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 554000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 602000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 658000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 682000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 690000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 714000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 738000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 778000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 826000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 834000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > > redeb:~/.tzap# cat se-Malmo > # Sweden - Malmö > # T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval hierarchy > T 482000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 506000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 618000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE > T 818000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > T 850000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE > > Can I compose one, of these by myself (from other nearby citys), or how? There are a lot of Swedish channels.conf in dvb-apps now. In "kaffeine" you just select the transmitters in the dvb configuration. You also can combine multiple transmitters or try with "w_scan". http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html http://edafe.org/vdr/wscan.html > hermann pitton wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Am Sonntag, den 10.02.2008, 15:28 +0100 schrieb Per Blomqvist: > > > >> Hello Jonas Andren. > >> (Kom inte o säg att Anden är dansk) > >> > >> The Harware I have, I have said.

(recent stuff is in a v4l-dvb mercurial snapshot) All the older P7131 Dual cards have a firmware eeprom and only the oldest revision needed an upgrade.

With kernel devel environment installed v4l-dvb from the mercurial master repository is easy to use. (currently down to 2.6.19, sysfs compat for 2.6.18 is broken, >= 2.6.20 works for sure) > It was the "channel.conf" that was wrong..
