[mythtv-users] Danish channels in nearby Sweden

[daniel åkerud]

I was fiddling all night (yawn) and I can now receive danish channels. I
have created an initial scan file that you also can use, with comments.
Here are the contents:

---
# For Antenna in Lund pointing towards Malmö/Jägersro
# Also gets Danish channels

# ztv, MTV etc
T 506000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

# Aftonbladet TV7 etc, from Hörby, commented out, conflicts with 794Mhz
# T 522000000 8MHz 3/4 1/2 QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE

# SVT1 & SVT2, etc
T 570000000 8MHz 3/4 1/2 QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE

# ?
T 586000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

# Odd channels, I comment out
# T 610000000 8MHz 1/2 1/2 QPSK 8k 1/8 NONE

# Boxer, Kanal + etc
T 634000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

# TV4, TV6 etc
T 650000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

# Aftonbladet TV7, Kanal Loka Skåne etc
T 794000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

T 826000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

# Denmark, DR1, DR2 and TV 2
T 834000000 8MHz AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO AUTO

Hope it works for you. I import the results into MythTV. I still cannot get
a lock for Aftonbladet TV7 although I have 79% signalstrengh and I CAN lock
with tzap and watch with mplayer. I really believe this is a MythTV bug when
importing channels.conf.

Tell me if it works :)
