Subject: [linux-dvb] me-tv doesn't accept its own channel file
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:47:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48D688BE.80008@rogers.com> (raw)

me-tv scans ATSC channels on my HVR-950Q and creates a channels.conf 
file. The file has channel entries, even though the Channel Scan window 
reports nothing but "Failed to tune" messages. But me-tv cannot use its 
own file. It complains, "There's an invalid channel record in the 
channels.conf file." Oh, come on! Was this application tested even once?

My file contains the following:

CKXTDT\x10:509028615:8VSB:65:67:2
CKXT:509028615:8VSB:81:83:3
HDTV RADIO-CANADA OTTAWA:521028615:8VSB:49:52:11
HDTV CBC OTTAWA:539028615:8VSB:49:52:10

(I live in Canada. Our TV stations have until 2011 to go digital and 
they are moving slowly.)

A possible problem is the strange 2-byte character following "CKXTDT" in 
the first line, hex 0810. Removing this line did not make the file 
acceptable to me-tv.

Does anyone have experience with this glitch?
