Melbourne, Aus analogue settings (2 Viewers)

[noonereallycares]

Since there are no current options, I thought I'd post an XML file that contains all the major Melbourne Analogue TV and Radio channels.

<mediaportal> 
   <tv> 
      <channel name="ABC"		number="2"  frequency="64,25"/>
      <channel name="Seven"		number="7" frequency="182,25"/>
      <channel name="Nine"		number="9" frequency="196,25"/>
      <channel name="Ten"		number="10" frequency="209,25"/>
      <channel name="SBS"		number="28"  frequency="527,25"/>
      <channel name="C31"		number="31"  frequency="548,25"/>
   </tv> 
   <radio>
      <channel name="Vega"		frequency="91,5"/>
      <channel name="Nova FM"		frequency="100,3"/>
      <channel name="Fox FM"		frequency="101,9"/>
      <channel name="Triple R"		frequency="102,7"/>
      <channel name="3MBS FM"		frequency="103,5"/>
      <channel name="Gold 104"		frequency="104,3"/>
      <channel name="Triple M"		frequency="105,1"/>
      <channel name="PBS FM"		frequency="106,7"/>
      <channel name="Triple J"		frequency="107,5"/>
   </radio> 
</mediaportal>

Hopefully that is useful to someone else.

Hopefully that is useful to someone else.

It might be, but I am not sure what to do with this information ...

Is this for use with TVE2 or TVE3?

What .xml file should it be added to?

BTW, I think it is missing the line

       <channel name="ABC CLASSIC FM"		frequency="105,9"/>

These details need to be made available on the MP website. The website has a collection of XML files for each location. I am unsure about the TVE2 vs TVE3 compatability.

Hi,
If you agree it should look like this i'll add it(think it's only used for TVE2 but not sure):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!--File created by TVSetUp2XML - v1.0-->
<!--Country: Australia, City: Melbourne, Service Provider: Free to Air-->
<!-- found TVChannels = 6,  Radio = 10-->
<mediaportal> 
   <tv> 
      <channel name="ABC"		number="2"   frequency="64,25"/>
      <channel name="Seven"		number="7"   frequency="182,25"/>
      <channel name="Nine"		number="9"   frequency="196,25"/>
      <channel name="Ten"		number="10"  frequency="209,25"/>
      <channel name="SBS"		number="28"  frequency="527,25"/>
      <channel name="C31"		number="31"  frequency="548,25"/>
   </tv> 
   <radio>
      <channel name="Vega"		  frequency="91,5"/>
      <channel name="Nova FM"	  frequency="100,3"/>
      <channel name="Fox FM"		  frequency="101,9"/>
      <channel name="Triple R"		  frequency="102,7"/>
      <channel name="3MBS FM"	  frequency="103,5"/>
      <channel name="Gold 104"	  frequency="104,3"/>
      <channel name="Triple M"		  frequency="105,1"/>
      <channel name="ABC CLASSIC FM"     frequency="105,9"/>
      <channel name="PBS FM"		  frequency="106,7"/>
      <channel name="Triple J"		  frequency="107,5"/>
   </radio>

That covers the major frequencies in Melbourne Metro. There are some people that get the regional equivalents, but I am unsure of the frequencies for those.

Thanks

I am sorry noonereallycares, but I must be really thick as I still don't understand the purpose of this xml data.

Could you please be more specific?

These details need to be made available on the MP website. .

Where abouts "on the MP website" are you referring to?

The website has a collection of XML files for each location..

For what purpose - is this information required for analogue TV and FM radio tuning?

Is it meant to be added to an existing xml file, or to the database, that is used by MediaPortal?

Hi,
Taipain, those are used in pre configured files you can import into MP Configuration instead of scanning freq.

Ooops. "Mix 101.1" is also available on 101.1

Guys, I am sorry to labour this issue, but I still don't understand how this data can be used ....

those are used in pre configured files you can import into MP Configuration instead of scanning freq.

Which "pre-configured files" are you referring to, and how can I "import into MP Configuration"?

I have just installed a "hybrid" TV card which I only use for DVB-T reception. However, I want to also use the analogue side to receive FM radio, hence my interest in this data. If I can just import the FM stations and thus avoid scanning and naming the stations, then that would be a bonus ...

Hi,
In MP Configuration -> Television -> TVChannels, you have a lockup button, hit it select country & town & import.
