Alternatively, you can specify a frequency range using the FREQUENCY parameter in the new format:
: Once the sweep is complete, it generates a standard dvbv5 format file (e.g., at-vienna-auto.conf ) containing only the verified, active transponders. Example Command Syntax: dvbv5-scan --blind-init out_initial_file.conf -a 0 -f 1 Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Why this is a game-changer:
: Use a specific DVB adapter (default is dvbv5scan initial file
: The broadcasting frequency in Hertz (Hz). For example, 578 MHz must be written as 578000000 . For satellite (DVB-S), it is often written in kHz (e.g., 12515000 ).
dvbv5-scan -v my_initial.conf

/usr/share/dvbv5/ : The default directory for DVBv5 formatted files. /usr/share/dvb/ : Often used for legacy DVBv3 files.
: A common criticism is that the default initial files provided in standard repositories (like dtv-scan-tables ) are often outdated because local broadcast parameters change frequently. at-vienna-auto.conf ) containing only the verified
