[linux-dvb] Re: Fw: dvbtune in australia

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@cloud.net.au>]

Thanks Mark but that doesn't seem to help. dvbtune prints the frequency
anyway so if you specify in kHz it still converts to Hz ok.

bash-2.05b# tzap 'ABC TV Melbourne'
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 226500000 Hz
status 00 | signal cbcb | snr d6d6 | ber 0001fffe | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal cbcb | snr fefe | ber 00000002 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal cbcb | snr fefe | ber 00000004 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
 
bash-2.05b# dvbtune -f 226500
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 226500000 Hz
polling....
