Synopsis::

I usually live in Italy and I managed to get MP to work on my laptop whithout any problem.

I recently moved to Kalmar (Sweden), but when I connect my tv reciever and start the search for tv channels it doesn't find any.
I set the research to "Sweden-All Regions" since Kalmar is not in the list.
I think I should add the frequencies of this region to dvbt.xml, but in this case, where can I find them?

Hi, now i'm not quite shure what the name of Kalmar 'tv broadcaster'(best name i could come up with as of now ;P), but you will find it here:

or if it is a rather small one its in this page

http://www.teracom.se/?page=5193

and lastly this page you will find what the frequency/channel corresponds to.

Nearest transmitter is in Emmaboda, a couple of metric miles from kalmar and there's a lot of interference in kalmar (based on own experience), så make sure you have a strong signal.

Thank you for your answers.

On the log I always see Signal Strenght: 100 and Signal Quality: 0.

I really don't know what to do now. Should I change dvbt.xml? And how?

[roosterx]

you dont need to do anything, except tune channels from - Sweden - Emmaboda - Balshult. (under dvb tune in MP setup)

On the log I always see Signal Strenght: 100 and Signal Quality: 0.

Quality 0 is not good, you won't get a picture with a reception like that. Are you able to find the channels using another program like myTheatre, DVB Viewer etc?

If you can't get reception with another program I would recommend investing a bit of money in a nice antenna that supports the DVB-T frequencies.

Cheers,
Martin
