[RFC] Dropping of channels-conf from dtv-scan-tables

[RFC] Dropping of channels-conf from dtv-scan-tables

[Oliver Schinagl]

Hey all,

The channels-conf directory in the dtv-scan-tables repository is 
bitrotten. Besides tw-All, the newest addition is over 6 years ago, with 
some being as old as 9 years. While I'm sure it's possible that the 
channels-conf are still accurate, it's not really needed any longer.

Unless valid reasons are brought up to keep it, I will move it to a 
seperate branch and delete it from the master branch in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Oliver

Sorry for my off-topic, because dvb-apps' 'scan' utility output wrong
encoding of channels-conf in Taiwan, that's why 'tw-All' channels-conf
is still useful for some Taiwan people. Or someone could review my
patch about this encoding issue? ([PATCH][dvb-apps] Fix 'scan' utility
region 0x14 encoding from BIG5 to UTF-16BE)

Thanks,

Huei-Horng Yo

Did you notify the maintainer? of the dvb-apps? I think manu is still 
one of the dvb-apps maintainers.
