The transmissions settings do change from time to time. The only thing
you can rely on is the frequency, and then it could change as well, but
only +-125kHz. I have found with my Dvico Fusion Plus card that using
auto for everything works, and the card auto detects the 125kHz offset
as well. I don't know if all cards support auto but I am pretty sure any
reasonably new card would. I also think that is must be a requirement
for Australian cards because the only setup parameter which may be
required is what state you are in, and even then you can work that out
from any TS data which is found.
I know that many DVB apps require the channels.conf file but I think
it's format causes lots of problems. Here in Melbourne, lots of
channels change frequently (Channel 7 changes things almost weekly).

Hi all.
I hope this is the right mailing list to send to.
It's a request to fix an incorrect setting in the configuration file
supplied for the scan utility of the dvb-utils software, the the
au-Perth region.
I have a Hauppauge Nova-T tuner card and for ages I've been able to
get all of the five TV stations except for Channel 7.
I had looked all over the Internet and the settings reoprted on
various wiki's, mailing lists, etc all agreed with the ones I was
trying, but failing with.
Finally I stumbled across the correct settings on the Digital
Broadcasting Australia's website at the following link:
http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=120
The problem is that everywhere, the guard interval for channel 7 has
been reported as being 1/8.
This is incorrect. It is actually 1/16.
It was enough to stop me from being able to tune to it, even when
doing auto scans.
I was just about to return the DVB-T capture card as faulty because of
this setting reported incorrectly everywhere.
I'm using Debian, and they have a dvb-utils package that is at version
1.1.1 that seems to be the latest version.
In this package is a file called:
/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/au-Perth
The current contents of this file are as follows:
# Australia / Perth (Carmel/Bickley transmitters)
# T freq bw fec_hi fec_lo mod transmission-mode guard-interval
hierarchy
# ABC
T 226500000 7MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE
# Seven
T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
# Nine
T 191625000 7MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE
# Ten
T 219500000 7MHz 3/4 NONE QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE
# SBS
T 536625000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
However the entry for "Seven" should be:
T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/16 NONE
Is this the correct list to report this problem to so that the file is
corrected in future versions of the utils?
I hope this helps anyone else from Perth who has had the same problem
as me and kept finding the same mis-information that I did.
Regards,
