It looks like there is a limited number of frequencies used over the 
country :

I am lazy so I was wondering why there was one file of frequencies for 
each town in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/.
Would it be harmful to have only one list with all those frequencies 
(there are 57) for all the country?
I suppose the DVB-T softwares will take longer to find the channels in 
all these frequencies, instead of scanning only the ~10 relevant ones. 
But isn't it what every television does? All the hardware TNT receiver I 
know scan all the frequencies without knowing in which town you are.
Plus it would enable future usage of the currently unused frequencies, 
without the need to modify the files again

I suppose I missed something because that would be too easy ;-)
