I demand that Q may or may not have written...
Hi, has anyone got a working vdr compatible channels.conf file they could share with me for uk-PontoPike?
Yes (assuming that you mean Pontop Pike), but see below.
I'd be very grateful if anyone would be kind enough to help me find such a configuration file - as my old xine one doesn't work in VDR.
Rescanning is sufficient so long as nothing else is accessing the same card.
# scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-PontopPike \ -o vdr -u >/var/lib/vdr/channels.conf
(Actual filenames may differ from those shown.)
