Moin moin, During the month of November 2008, there will be some changes made in several areas of Germany to the DVB-T transmitters, including switching over some remaining analogue transmitters, but also some shuffling of frequencies to agree to the Geneve 2006 international frequency coordination. Before the end of this (coming) week, on 05.11.2008, one existing scanfile for Stuttgart (Baden-Wuerttemberg) will be completely incorrect. For this, I submit a new scanfile that should replace the existing one sometime this week -- exactly when will determine what sort of period of limbo users will suffer, depending how they get their scanfile... In any case, also affected is Heidelberg, for which there exists no scanfile. Therefore, I've decided to create an initial scanfile for all of Baden-Wuerttemberg to cover all frequencies as of 05.11, and to address the issue of additional nearby frequencies which can be received -- near Heidelberg, one likely also sees signals from Hessen and Rheinland-Pfalz, at least. I hope to post that much longer scanfile in time for the frequency changes, and try to do the same for other Bundeslaender (Rheinland-Pfalz a week later; Bayern near the end of the month). Even with such an all-encompassing scanfile, I still think de-Stuttgart should continue to exist, being a large city with its own transmitter and no nearby transmitters with any additional programming, for people who know they are in Stuttgart but have no idea what Bundesland it is. However, de-Baden-Baden, de-Freiburg, de-Loerrach, and de-Ravensburg should disappear, being better served (in my opinion) by the combined all-encompassing all-dancing regional scanfile... As I'll submit it, the regional scanfile will by default scan all 16 frequencies (one of which will be obsolete after some months) used by all trasmitters, and will allow power-users to customise it to uncomment nearby frequencies, assuming they know where they are. If, though, it's better to by default scan all possibly nearby frequencies, be they from Hessen or Austria, I could uncomment them, roughly tripling frequencies and greatly increasing scan time. Your call... thanks, barry bouwsma
