Actually, the bug in the driver you're using (I assume it's the Freecom USB
stick you wrote about over the weekend - very similar to the one I'm using)
is to do with the fact that the transmitters have to 'slew' some of the
frequencies so that the very powerful Analogue transmissions do not
interfere with the much lower power digital info. The firmware/chipset in
the driver is supposed to detect and cope with this, but doesn't - causing
problems. The tuning requirement may be both up and down from the
designated frequency. Apparently the information is published somewhere (an
a per transmitter/mux basis) - I'm trying to find it and will let you have
a copy when I locate it.
After a bit of googling I went to here
http://www.stevelarkins.freeuk.com/freeview_digital_tv.htm
and used that to link to here
http://www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe?
which I used to get the channels for Crystal Palace by typing in my post
code. I then found here
http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/tx_lse.html
which gives the channel numbers for Crystal Palance as
Mux 1 channel 25
Mux 2 channel 22
Mux A channel 32
Mux B channel 28
Mux C channel 34
Mux D channel 29
I then looked up the channels here
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/terrestrial/tuning/
You need the centre frequency for digital - which is in fact the corrected
frequencies that were talked about in previous posts.
I have just made scan file for dvbscan (aka scan on debian) based on these
numbers, rather than the single channel 25 number used in the distribution
and fed it into scan. [scan seems to go off after trying the centre
frequencies you give it and explore lots of others - I killed it when it
started to do that, but I still have all the channels I need saved into a
channels.conf file]
