How to add DVB-T frequencies to MP and TV server?!?

[Maschine]

MediaPortal and the TV server both have a xml-file with tuningparameters for DVB-T. If the frequencies for your area are listed in this file a channel scan will take a lot less time (because the channel scan will only scan the listed frequencies) compared to scanning all frequencies for you whole country or even all possible DVB-T frequencies.

All entries should look like the following schema (shortened):

<country name="YOUR_COUNTRY - YOUR_CITY/REGION" offset="125">
  <carrier frequency="198500" bandwidth="7" />
  <carrier frequency="498000" bandwidth="8" />
  <carrier frequency="530000" bandwidth="8" />
</country>

Just replace the YOUR_COUNTRY and YOUR_CITY/REGION values and enter the frequencies in the carrier element.

You can get the DVB-T frequencies from your local provider. The sample data is from http://www.dvb-t-nord.de/empfangsgeb..._parameter.pdf where you can see that 198,5Mhz results in frequency="198500" and so on.

After completing the entry please test if all channels are found and you didn't miss a frequency. Then please post your entry to this thread so I can add it to the SVN repository.

Please also post updates about changed frequencies here!

Thanks

Hi!

This block should replace old ones (Croatia - Zagreb - Sljeme, ...):

<country name="Croatia - Zagreb" offset="125">
<carrier frequency="498000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="514000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="522000" bandwidth="8" />
</country>

Here are the frequencies for swiss:

<country name="Swiss - Graubuenden - Chur" offset="125">
<carrier frequency="722000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="730000" bandwidth="8" />
</country>

Is there any way to add an dvbc-file for swiss to the TVengine3 files?

[Maschine]

Added both.

DVB-T freq changed in Helsingborg Sweden. Here are the new ones

<country name="Sweden - Helsingborg Olympia" offset="125">
<carrier frequency="506000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="546000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="570000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="634000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="650000" bandwidth="8" />
</country>


If one wants denamrk to just add
<carrier frequency="714000" bandwidth="8" />

[Maschine]

SVN updated...

@lar, we already have denmark (in the list it is danmark). Or what did you want to say with your post?

Hi Maschine,

you can delete country "Italy - Verona" offset="125", all freq are already coded in "Italy - All regions".
Also take care that:

<carrier frequency="742000" bandwidth="8" /> is not a valid freq (from Italy - Verona)

and

<carrier frequency="642000" bandwidth="8" /> should be <carrier frequency="643000" bandwidth="8" />

and

<carrier frequency="866000" bandwidth="8" /> is missing

Thank you.
