it's pretty easy to extend the scan utility wo write any other channel list format, e.g. VDR or tuxzap channel lists. Feel free to do so and send a patch when you're done.
Humm...

What I'm asking it pretty simple. I want to watch TV. I'm not a programmer, and I'm a little new to linux and satellite technologies. What I just need is to have a moving picture on my screen from a command line. ;)

I want to do for example "./szap -n 001 [enter key]", and there, it switches to a channel, and I can see on picture on my TV screen comming from the Satellite card TV output. The "scan" utility doesn't seem to get anything here.
sure, the szap channel list is generated for Astra.

*./scan
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

 >>> tune to:

switch pos 0, 18V, hiband

It goes like that over and over again until I get :

*>>> tune to:
10978000:INVERSION_OFF:2344000:FEC_3_4

switch pos 0, 13V, loband
index 0

initial tuning failed!*
You have to add an initial transponder for your satellite to the end of the qpsk_probes list in initial.h.

Otherwise scan can never read an initial Network Information Table to build the channel list.
