In the WIKI, you would find my version on howto change to frequency instead of channels for mencoder. Needs to be redacted by someone who has a better knowledge of python.
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/RecordingInfo point 5 In adition, since I've been switching to frequency for mencoder, it looks like the finetuning of the recorded programs is much better.(less noise) But this could be a faulty impression from my point of view. > I would try changing the line: > > 'tv:// -tv ' + > > to: > > 'tv://%(channel)s -tv ' + > > mencoder options for tv have been a mess for a few versions while they > switch over to the new tv url syntax. > > otherwise you might have to resort to using raw frequencies if mencoder > doesn't know the channel number.
