So use Nigel's numbers ? Either the full set or the optimised set ? I'm
a bit reluctant to use the optimised set, but I will if you guys think
they are OK for the near future (1 year say).
John,
Didn't get a change to read the full thread before my last response.
Just to confirm I agree the full frequency ranges are:
channels 6-12: 177.5Mhz - 226.5MHz channels 28-69: 529.5MHz - 816.5MHz
With some random transmitters having a +125kHz offset...
I don't personally see an advantage in optimising the scan, it's something you only really need to do once. Probably better to catch all cases than save a bit of time?
My old Nova-T actually scanned much faster than I expected (a minute or two?), and it's fairly slow to tune. I expect my DVICO would scan faster but I already have the channels so I haven't tried:)
Also interesting to note my scan picked up all transports at the correct frequency, but I don't think the old nova-t PLL* can shift too far from the centre frequency. Maybe the issue with other cards could be driver related too - which cards are you using Nigel?
It sounds like Nigel has done far more testing than me - I just applied the patch as I did the big update to the new DVB code. It sounded useful as I was going to lose my existing channels in the update!

* it's the PLL (phase locked loop) that locks onto the carrier. AGC (automatic gain control) is for signal strength.
