Usage

In Debian GNU/Linux and Debian-derived distributions such as Ubuntu, install from GNOME with Synaptic or from the command-line 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 /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-<DVB type>/<your local transmitter name> >~/.xine/channels.conf

Now start up {{{frontend}}} and choose DVB from the menu. You should now see a broadcast TV channel.

{{{frontend_specific}}}

Methods of changing channel other than the previous/next keys will cause a channel list to be displayed; this will display some now/next information, depending on what's been received on the current multiplex and any previously visited (this information is not remembered when you quit {{{frontend}}}).

Notes

  • 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.
  • xine-lib 1.2 will follow the XDG Base Directory Specification; by default, it will use ~/.config/xine-lib/channels.conf.
