Don't know if the frequency table works with tvtime as I never use it
but it does work with mplayer.
TV_CHANNELS = [
('bbcprime.com', u'BBC Prime', 'K32', '', '0', '881'),
('cnn.com', u'CNN Int.', 'S13'),
('kika.de', u'KiKa', 'K21', ('1234567','0600','2059')),
('arte.de', u'Arte', 'K21', ('1234567','2100','2359'),
('1234567','0000','0559'), 0, 150),
('C1.sfdrs.ch', u'SF 1', 'K05', '', '0', '777'),
('C2.sfdrs.ch', u'SF 2', 'K10', '', '0', '777'),
etc
('webcam1', u'WebCam1', '0', '', '1'),
]
NB
The fifth parameter is the video group device
The sixth parameter is the subtitle page for use with vbi2srt
I've made the channel names Unicode for the ΓΌ in some channels
FREQUENCY_TABLE = {
'K32' : 559250,
'S13' : 246250,
'K34' : 575250,
'K21' : 471250,
'K05' : 175500,
'K10' : 211000,
etc
'S06' : 140250,
}
