Just for information, yes France uses SECAM but SECAM was (well... IS) an analog standard, for DTT DVB-T is used everywhere in Europe (though different standards are used in the US and in Japan). So there is basically no difference between France and the UK except that France has a Single Frequency Network (SFN) (i.e. one transponder is always on the same frequency whereas in the UK, you have a set of different frequencies for each transmitter) but it makes no difference to Linux :-) > Anyway, the main thing is it works for someone in Linux - although my > rather UK Centric question still stands....as you suggest, Brice, I'll > give a go mucking about with the frequency tables if I can get something > out of Windows.
