V5/BDA/DVBT/Munich: Ch.search doesn't find C10 (Das Erste)

Hi there

I would like to report the following bug (and it's solution :D)
ProgDVB 5.13 and all previous V5.x seem to have an incorrect frequency preset entry for DVB-T. It is regarding Germany/Munich's VHF DVB-T channel 10
(Germany/Munich programs on this channel: Das Erste, Phoenix, arte, Eins Plus)

Both the "Germany/Munich" preset and the "all regions" preset, where it scans 57 DVB-T channels do not succeed in finding those channel 10 programs.

To locate them, I called menu option "channel list" -> "scan transponder", selected channel 10, then modified the preset frequency from 212.000kHz to 212.500 and then lock, then scan and then the channel 10 programs where successfully found.

I guess it's a ProvDVB5 problem, because ProgDVB 4.x does not have this DVBT-channel-10-find problem.

You might want to check that and maybe modify the frequency preset in V5. Or maybe V5 skipps scanning 212500kHz due to a bug?

This is not a ini edit problem.

For my case the default ini-files 0000.ini and 1001.ini are correct.
See for yourself: For C10 both files say 212.500 as frequency.

Must be a software bug:
Because when ProvDVB V5 loads those files, it will display a "212.000" on screen for transpoder scans. There must a decimal bug in V5 somewhere, that drops the ".500".
The same files work file in V4, only V5 seems to have problems with ini-files that list xxx.500 frequencies.

If so, this would not only effect Munich users, as on many regions, offests to full MHz are used for some channels, to avoid interference of some kind.

And not all hardware / driver combinations do have a well working AFC.

So, all kHz values must be calculated to tune properly. Like known from satellite as well, as PLL tuning rasters are hardware dependent...

solved

V5.13.1 solved it.
Thank you for correction.
