I don't use tzap directly.

This is what I do:

# step 1: I use wscan to to make a channel list, there are some serious
issues under Linux that I cant solve but like to know what is being done
about is. The wscan tool cant get the signal strength of the channel it
found, so it may find duplicated channels on multiple frequencies with
different strengths. wscan should be able to eliminate all the duplicated
channels with inferiour quality. But there is no API in v4l to do this.

~/.wscan/wscan -t 3 -E 0 -O 0 -X tzap > ~/.wscan/channels.conf
cp --verbose ~/.wscan/channels.conf ~/.mplayer/channels.conf

# step 2: I run the mplayer command to play one of the stream
/usr/bin/mplayer -dvbin timeout=10 dvb://"3FM(Digitenne)"

I automated this scanning and playing system with scripts, they are
attached together with the logs of the commands I run.

These systems work with the em28xx devices but not with the AF9015

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Jelle
