Hi, is dvb-h a subset of dvb-t? our country decided to switch on dvb-t, we receive dvb-t and dvb-h with h.264.
w_scan doesn't produce a channels.conf for what appears to be dvb-h
Any hints?

DVB-H is more than just DVB-T plus H264 services. I strongly think that what you're having in your country is standard DVB-T with normal H264 services how they are supported with VDR 1.7.
DVB-H is using also H264 to encode video streams, but is encapsulating it in RTP over DVB-MPE. Up to now I don't know any complete DVB-H reception chain, though there are some starting points which can be found in the dvb-apps repository at linuxtv.org and at other places. But before you're diving in to that, I recommend that you're first trying to find out whether it is really DVB-H you're looking for or DVB-T with H264. DVB-H service however are designs for handheld devices with small screens, most likely the video quality will not be very nice when watching it on a full-screen desktop/TV replacement.
HTH, Patrick.

So far I only pick something up on 586MHz and 706MHz
w_scan produces this:

Are those VDR generated channels.conf lines correct? When I try to tune to them VDR says channel unavailable. I'm using vdr-1.6.0p2

This really looks like a real DVB-H broadcast. You won't be able to use this with VDR for now - like I explained in my previous Email.

Please check in README/Manual of VDR or on the Wikis which can be found in several places all over the internet. I'm sure this question can be answered there ;)

My country is South Africa, (soccer host for world cup 2010) so it would be nice, if there was any kinda information on dvb-h + vdr.
So would you advise me to move to vdr-1.7.7 to see if I can get H.264?

As I said before: DVB-H and VDR I think it will be hard to do and the outcome would be minimal, as VDR is a software for full-screen huge display sets and DVB-H service is meant for handheld (very small screens).
So would you advise me to move to vdr-1.7.7 to see if I can get H.264?
Yes, and you may try the old-fashion scan to generate vdr channels.conf . It will only give a useful channels.conf when it's not H264 services.
Patrick.

I wrote some instructions for receiving DVB-H: http://users.utu.fi/mijutu/digitv/dvb-h/index-en.html
I guess it would be possible to write a dvbh-plugin that would set up dvbnet, receive the rtp packets, wrap the h.264 elementary stream into ts packets and feed them to vdr.
Or how about using VLC for rfc3984 -> rfc2250 conversion and then receiving the stream back to VDR with the iptv-plugin.
