[linux-dvb] [PATCH] Fwd: Script for creating channels.conf for ATSC cards

[Taylor Jacob <rtjacob@earthlink.net>]

Since Angel isn't a member of linux-dvb I am forwarding this on.  If there is
someplace in the dvb-cvs that this could be placed please add it in.  It makes
setting up an ATSC card very easy.

 Subject: Script for creating channels.conf for ATSC cards
      To: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org

Hello,

Attached is a script that given a zipcode will generate lines to
populate channels.conf for Taylor Jacob's azap program. azap is a
program for checking signal quality as received by an Air2PC-ATSC card.
