The Multiproto channels.conf should be interchangeable with S2API. But *some* modulation types didn't exist in S2API when I wrote the patches and you need to check this for yourself. You need to check the settings (Red button to edit in the TV Channels overview) and see if they are indeed correct and change them accordinly. My best guess, is that the modulation types are wrong.
Sorry to double post but as an update I removed all DVB-T channels and then rescanned them using scan-s2 from http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2/. It found all the channels on my transmitter. Also DVB-S channels seem to be working fine, not tried S2 yet.
The new format for DVB-T presented is: -
BBC ONE;BBC:730000:I999B8C34D34M16T2G32Y0:T:27500:600:601=eng,602=eng:0:0:4165:9018:4101:0
which is now accepted by VDR. However, I get a black screen when tuning to them. In user.log I see: -

which is funny because devices 0 and 1 are DVB-T:
[ 12.497993] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend -858993460 (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T)... [ 12.554597] DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend -858993460 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)... [ 12.594872] DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (Conexant CX24116/CX24118)...
then when VDR starts tuning I see:
Feb 4 10:38:18 morfsta vdr: [18344] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 642 Feb 4 10:39:18 morfsta vdr: [18347] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 642 Feb 4 10:39:21 morfsta vdr: [18344] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 642
Any suggestions?
Thanks
