I had the following errors: ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder So I first checked if there was a wscan update. I downloaded the new version: http://wirbel.htpc-forum.de/w_scan/w_scan-20090504.tar.bz2 Why is w_scan not available in the Debian repository? However my old command arguments did not work anymore: old: ~/.wscan/wscan -t 3 -E 0 -O 0 -X tzap > ~/.wscan/channels.conf main:2715: FATAL: Missing argument "-c" (country setting) I had to make a new argument line: ~/.wscan/wscan -t 3 -A 1 -E 0 -O 0 -c NL -X tzap > ~/.wscan/channels.conf This is very troubling for me because I must have a scan command that works in complete Europa and not in one country. This is because I have traveling systems that need to scan for channels on every stop. Why :-( please explain and try to fix this regression that a country code is needed? I was hoping for auto signal strength detection and automatic filtering depending on the signal strength to remove duplicated channels from different broadcast towers.. what work is being done to realize this, and can I help by donating resources? Thanks in advance, Best regards, Jelle de Jong
