DVB-T (Digital TV) - How to find all channels in the UK
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:36 pm
Now I'm hoping this will help some of you, I use ProgDVB to get digital tv (like you would on a standard freeview box) through my PCI tuner card on my computer.
I've always found difficulty finding all channels, and could never work out why!
With ProgDVB using the "scan for channels" never worked for me as by default the program had the wrong frequencies for the "multiplexers" i needed to use.
I'm still not sure what a "multiplexer" is, but it seems different multiplexers have different frequencies and will broadcast different channels, so for all channels you need to know the frequencies. I found them here http://dtt.me.uk/.
For me these were:
778.166
746.166
746.166
802.166
826.166
754.166
After adding this information into the all.list file in C:\ProgDVB\Transponders\TerFiles the "channel search" function picked up all freeview channels for me!
I'm guessing that for different parts of the UK you may have to use different frequencies, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping this may help someone out there!
Let me know if I can be of further assistance, I've left a copy of the new sections in my all.list so you can see what I've done.
