Stefan,

Due to my holiday and a busy life this is very late, but i have been
testing your program with succes. The only issue i have (that i stil
have to report back) is that the + sign is also used by mplyer to
forward. So if yo use it in a high speed while finetuning you will reach
the end of the file and mplayer stops playing.

The chosen steps are fine. I can fine-tune in a very easy way with your
program (and with no other actually).

What would be nice is to be able to add/change the name of the channel
to a meaningfull thing like 'BBC2'. Now i have to remember that nr 27 =
BBC2.

In return i can give you the following as basic documentation to add to
your webpage. See below.

Thanks again,

Peter Vollebregt


Description / how-to for using ivtv-manager:

ivtv-manager is a small program to control the TV-channel from a shell
by using cursor-keys.

You can run the program and change the channels by pressing the up/down
keys, change the volume by the left/right keys and you can input the
channel number by the numeric keys (you can submit the channel by wait a
second or pressing the return key). Also finetuning is now possible To
get a better signal)

The controls:
  key up/down = change the channel
  key left/right = change volume
  m = mute
   +/- = fine tune ( are these steps ok?)
   s = save configuration (to save fine tuning)
   (1234567890) = direct channel number input
   return = submit channel number input


To install:
Install it by unpacking the program, and the run 'make' in that
directory. There is no 'make install' - You can run it by issuing
./ivtv-manager or you can copy the binary to /usr/local/bin/


To find the proper frequncies and fill the frequency table:
As a user run:  ivtv-manager -s /dev/video0 europe-west

This creates the file 'ivtv-manager' with the found frequencies in your
homedir
'europe-west' is an example (this is where i live). For your country
pick the correct one from the file 'frequencies.c' in the ivtv-manager
directory.


To watch TV:
Then start reading the signal via (the path can point anywhere where you
can read/write and have ample space) :
cat /dev/video > ~/test.mpg
look at the signal via mplayer ~/test.mpg
