Nobody is maintaining dvb-apps for a long time.

I wrote a few years ago a patch adding DVBv5 support there at dvb-apps,
but it was very complex, as, internally, it has an abstraction layer
that it is too bound to the way the DVBv3 API works, IMHO. 

It ends that rewriting from scratch were simpler than fixing dvb-apps for
every single new delivery system.

If you want to use scan/zap with a delivery system different than DVB-T/C/S
or ATSC, I suggest you to use dvbv5 tools at:
	http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git

They were written to work with DVBv5 API (it also supports DVBv3 - of course
without S2/T2 support) and should work with DVB-S2, DVB-T2, etc.

Mauro

and what about dvb-t/s support in dvbv5 tools ? how to scan/zap dvb-s transponders ?

Yes there is. It took a gigantic efforts to fix crappy issues that
crept in with
API updates and things did really crawl down. There is an effort to get the
apps updated.
