Re: [vdr] UK Freeview Logical Channel Numbers
The point is that a £20 freeview box automatically sorts the channel list using the broadcast lcn data without any user intervention. Then of course all the channel numbering is correct and conforms to the UK freeview channel order. By using Tony's script we get the same functionality in vdr for UK Freeview channel numbering without having to manually resort the channel list every time we rescan. Your channel list below is not in UK Freeview LCN order of course. Channel 4 and 5 have been free to air for ages on freeview, cable and Sky by the way.

Re: [vdr] UK Freeview Logical Channel Numbers
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tony Houghton wrote: I've had trouble in the past with VDR disagreeing with the format used by the output of scan so I've written a script which compares VDR's channels.conf with the output of scan with Freeview numbering and outputs a new file with VDR's channel data but resorted and with the Freeview numbering added. Actually, this script isn't much use after all. When scan's run in vdr compatibility mode (which isn't fully compatible with vdr anyway) it misses out the part-time channels ie BBC3, CBeebies etc depending on the time of day. And the script fails to correct the resultant clashes eg BBCi being channel 2. What we really need is a patch for VDR to make it get the channel numbers and sort on them. Some sort of bootstrapping would be a good idea too. At the moment VDR exits without any error messages if it doesn't have a channels.conf. It should at least allow the use of the OSD and/or ask the user for whatever info it needs to start a scan. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

My patch probably breaks all other drivers depending on ir-common.c or ir-funtions.c, as it is called in later 2.6 kernels. I'm talking about this patch, which I have been using since I made it: http://www.iki.fi/~msmakela/software/vdr/linux-2.6.15.2-cx88_input2.patch As far as I understand, the cx23882 features a 32-bit shift register for sampling the output of the infrared receiver and generates an interrupt after every 32 shifted bits. I don't know the shifting frequency, but let's assume that the shift register takes 6 samples of each time base T=16/9 ms. The duration of a whole RC5 frame is 64*T, or about 114 ms. The worst case delay of the shift register would then be something like 32*(T/6) = 9.5 ms. By Nyquist's sampling theorem, the absolute minimum sampling frequency would be 1/T (because the minimum pulse width in RC5 code is T/2). Thus, the maximum delay caused by the shift register would be 32*T = 57 ms. I don't think that you can notice that kind of delays, nor that you would get much smaller delays with LIRC.
