I am currently experimenting with a DVB-T USB stick in my HTPC. I tested it first on my Ubuntu machine, using w_scan and me-tv. That worked fine, picked up all Dutch FTA channels + the encrypted ones, and a lot of free German channels. When I added the stick to my HTPC, and scanned in TV-server with the 'Netherlands - All regions' preset, all the same channels were found, except the Dutch FTA channels (Nederland 1,2 and 3 and the regional channel). I couldn't find a way to manually add them (requires transport id etc, which is not provided anywhere on the net). So I looked in the channels.conf I generated with w_scan on my Ubuntu box, and noticed that those channels were at 482 Mhz. I checked TV-server's dvbt.xml, and saw that this frequency was missing!

<carrier frequency="462000"></carrier>
<carrier frequency="474000"></carrier>
<carrier frequency="482000"></carrier> <--- This I added
<carrier frequency="490000"></carrier>
<carrier frequency="498000"></carrier>

Now, autodetecting went fine, and the 4 missing channels were found. This change should probably be added in the next release.

Thanks mate!
I had the same problem when experimenting with dvb-t. Adding this fixed finding the fta channels.

FTA not working

Hi There,

I have the exact same problem, but adding the carrier frequency did not get me anything. the FTA-channels (NED1, NED2, NED3 and the regional one) + FTA radio channels are not found when scanning.

Anybody here have a solution?

I have done a clean install, BDA driver installed (FloppyDTV tuner), latest TV Server, cam enabled (the encrypted channels are no problem)

In a former install of Vista, i used VMC: all channels where available in VMC.
I'd like to use media portal...i like the skins and plugins, but proper working tv is high WAF parameter

Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance!

in my case frequency 706000 was missing...apparently the frequencies are not the same across the country.

Please provide a entry for each dutch region with corresponding freqs.

We will take care of updating the reference file.

<country name="Netherlands - Utrecht" offset="0">
<carrier frequency="498000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="706000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="762000" bandwidth="8" />
<carrier frequency="818000" bandwidth="8" />
</country>

This is what i added to the dvbt.xml.
I dont know frequencies of other regions, so cant help with that. maybe others can fill in the blanks.

I've added the frequencies to SVN.
