After running w_scan it seems new tuning data is found ( same kernel same OS) After trying to use the switch in the script to create a UK-CaradonHill tuning file directly,and failed then going off on a tangent with Klear, Xine, VDR, and ME TV I came back and found a swithc with w_scan to create an initial tuning file.as below #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # file automatically generated by w_scan # (http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/index2.html) #! <w_scan> 20090918 1 0 OFDM GB </w_scan> #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # location and provider: <UK-CaradonHill> # date (yyyy-mm-dd) : 2009-09-26 # provided by (opt) : <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # # T[2] <freq> <bw> <fec_hi> <fec_lo> <mod> <tm> <guard> <hi> [# comment] #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ T 474167000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE # South West T 642000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 666000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 714000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 497833000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE # South West T 786166670 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 730000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 762166670 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 506167000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE # South West T 521833000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE # South West T 745833000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE T 777833000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO NONE T 642000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 666000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 714000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE T 730000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/32 NONE Copying this to ~user/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine/dvb-t/uk_Caradonhill then selecting this in Kaffeine's DVB Configure DVB menu then Select your new tuning file from the DVB Channels menu and It Works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all apart from BBC channels? Don't know why yet but more possibly after 30 Sept. Re-tune for more after then! Regards Kevin Lucas Minions Post Master(Sub) reprieved repressed(possibly!Definitely!)
