GNOME DVB Daemon User Guide

Setup

Automatic setup

This is the easiest way to setup devices.

Manual setup

Creating channels.conf

You can use alternative tools to scan for channels and import them into GNOME DVB Daemon. Make sure that the channels.conf is in zap format. If you use w_scan you have to specify the option -X.

For example for dvb-apps scan the following command creates a channels.conf:

scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Bayern > channels.conf

Where /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/de-Bayern contains the initial tuning data, check /usr/share/dvb for all available files.

Configuring device

If you want to configure a device with a channels.conf created by another application or you don't like the way gnome-dvb-setup configures your devices follow these steps.
