Usage
In Debian GNU/Linux and Debian-derived distributions such as Ubuntu, install with one of these commands:
aptitude install {{{frontend}}}
apt-get install {{{frontend}}}
Then create the channels list using the scan utility from the LinuxTV dvb-apps:
mkdir ~/.xine scan /path/to/initial/tuning/file >~/.xine/channels.conf
Now start up {{{frontend}}} and open the DVB card:
{{{frontend}}} dvb://
You should now see a broadcast TV channel.
{{{frontend_specific}}}
Xine appears to only tune DVB-S channels via the channels.conf file if you are using a Universal type lnbf. That is one with an LO: 9750/10600. C-Band LO: 5150 and Ku band LO:10750 commonly used in North America seem to be unsupported as yet unless Deadfly missed something.
