Digital TV Rocks!
I will move sometime over the next few months and I cancelled my cable tv service a few weeks ago. I got some rabbit ears, but I really could only pick up a few channels and they were snowy. But I went to US government digital TV website and honestly said that my only source of tv signals was an antenna. They sent me two $40 coupons for a digital converter box. I bought a converter with one of the coupons and hooked it up. Whoa! I get 17 channels and they are better than cable ever was. It really is unbelievable!
I don't watch that much TV anyway. I may just forget about cable!

NAME
tvtime-scanner - an all-band scanner for tvtime to help users of European cable providers that do not use standard frequencies
SYNOPSIS
tvtime-scanner [ OPTION ] ...
DESCRIPTION
tvtime-scanner allows a user to scan all frequencies for stations. This is useful for European cable provides such as UPC or Casema which
do not use standard frequency tables for their channels. tvtime-scanner checks for frequencies across the full band and writes it to your
stationlist.xml file in a table called "Custom". This can be selected by running "tvtime --frequencies=custom" or by selecting the Custom
frequency table within the OSD menu inside tvtime.

Additional config file to load settings from.
-d, --device=NAME
video4linux device to use (defaults to /dev/video0).
-i, --input=INPUTNUM
video4linux input number (defaults to 0). Cards commonly have a bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my
tuner and source 1 is the composite input. The scanner requires using an input that has a tuner.
-n, --norm=NORM
The mode to set the tuner to (defaults to NTSC). Valid modes are:
o NTSC
o PAL
o SECAM
o PAL-NC
o PAL-M
o PAL-N
