Updating predefined muxes

David Mainem

Hi there,
is there any guide how to update the predefined muxes for DVB-C?
Honestly i cant find the files in git, but i know that some of them might be out of date.

For example the Unitymedia (nowadays Vodafone NRW) Scanfile which does not find all channels.

It is working if you define a mux yourself like this:

But i think that should be fixed directly in TVH.

git clone git://linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git

look at


/usr/share/dvb

and copy needed content to coresponding folders

TVHeadend uses a forked dtv-scan-tables. It pulls scan tables from here...

https://github.com/tvheadend/dtv-scan-tables

If you have github user account then fork this repo, make the updates in your fork and then submit a pull request. This is how these tables get fixed directly in TVH. Using linuxtv.org git we are at their whim as to whether they accept submissions or not when frequencies change.

FYI the North American satellite frequencies are going to be way off now due to 5G taking over much of the satellite spectrum. Once that settles I will try to make updates.
