What is the cause of the problem?

[ozky]

That command seems to be wrong,try these commands one by one.Is that analog or digitv adapter ?.

Code: Select all

w_scan -fc -c PL -x

w_scan -v -fc -c PL -t 3 -x

w_scan -vv -fc -c PL -i 0 -t 3 -x

w_scan -vvv -fc -c PL -i 1 -t 3 -x

w_scan -vvv -fc -c PL -Q 1 -S 0 -i 1 -t 3 -x

If those works you can add >> channels.conf end of that command so it will save it to file.

In Poland we have DVB-T standard H.264 codec, 8-channel MUX. My TV frequency: 634MHz, 698MHz, 746MHz.
w_scan, runs a scan frequency, finds nothing

[doktor5000]

@ozky: The last scan commands you asked to run only seem to scan for DVB-C ...

[mirej]

TV-tuner on Mageia-3 with old kernel 3.10.28 and the same firmware works great.
Thank you for trying to help.
MiReJ

[ozky]

Yes it can be changed to scan dvb-t with w_scan -X -t PL
