Basically, the logic that were getting the date were after the command that was moving to the repository. So, it was returning an empty date. So, the file was always named as: dtv-scan-tables-.tar.gz As dtv-scan-tables-LATEST.tar.gz is actually a link to the produced file, it was working. Now, it was properly generated, based on git last commit: dtv-scan-tables-2014-03-09-177b522.tar.bz2 The name there matches the latest changeset: http://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/commit/177b522e4c815d034cfda5d1a084ad074bc373b6 As usual, the produced files are at: http://linuxtv.org/downloads/dtv-scan-tables/ Please check it again the day after you add some new commit(s) there, for us to be sure that everything is working ok.

I hope it is all satisfactory still? Yes. I would add a few things on a TODO list: 1) Work with major distros for them to have a package for dtv-scan-tables; 2) Convert the files to the libdvbv5 format. On libdvbv5 format, all properties of a DVB channel/transponder are properly represented, as it uses the same definitions as found at DVBv5 API. I dunno if you are aware, but the current format is not compatible with some standards (like ISDB-T). Ok, there are tables there for ISDB-T, but that relies on the frontend to be able to auto-discover the properties, because the only thing that it is right there is the channel frequency. Even for DVB-T2/S2, there's a new property that is needed to tune a channel with is not represented with the current format (DTV_STREAM_ID). Thankfully, afaikt, there aren't many broadcasters using it. Of course, in order to preserve backward compat, we should still have the same format at /usr/share/dvb. So, my suggestion is to convert the files there to libdvbv5, and store them at /usr/share/dvbv5. Then, add a Makefile that will use dvb-format-convert to generate the current contents, and store them at /usr/share/dvb.
