Looking at the latest dvb-t directory in the dvb-apps repository i already see the following countries: be-All ch-All cz-All dk-All hr-All il-All lt-All lu-All nl-All Then there are single files for some countries without the All ad-Andorra at-Official hk-HongKong and then there are the country specific auto-* files auto-Australia auto-Italy auto-Taiwan For france it was decided that auto-With167kHzOffsets would be good enough (but there is no fr-All that points to this file) So the generic EU-All etc might not be there, but effectively they are already somewhere in these other files. So then we could just decide the make a generic file, and symlink the country specific *-All files to this generic file where appropriate, or have separate files for those countries that use a different standard.
