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.
