<DIV><FONT size=2> Should PVR 350/IVTV
tools be able to automatically scan available channels and get the
frequencies? If so, what are the commands? Any TV can
automatically tune channels. </FONT><FONT
size=2> <BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Here are the research results from studying the
lists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(1) A member of this list in Singapore used
#scantv -a -output file, but without result. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(2) xawtv does not work with PVR 350</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(3) china-bcast in Mythtv's frequency.c greatly
**conflicts** with what's in Video::Frequencies. Only the first
frequencies of the first 5 channels match, and Video::Frequencies have channels
like A1...,B1 which are not in mythtv's frequency.c.
Would this cause problem? Does this mean mythtv is not up to date with
IVTV?</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(4) china-bcast is among options in mythtv. But
I'm going to use local cable. Do I still use china-bcast? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(5) can callsign be safely ignored in channel table(e.g, use
fake names)? I have not heard about callsign in china and do not
understand their role in tuning/changing channels in mythtv.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(6) even after finding available frequency information from
tools, there are still things that are unclear. Do I put the
frequency information back into frequency.c and recompile it?
</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2> Thanks a lot
for your help!</FONT></DIV>
