w_scan(28) w_scan(28)NAMEw_scan - a universal ATSC and DVB blind scannerSYNOPSISw_scan -fa -c <COUNTRY_ID> [ options ] w_scan -fc -c <COUNTRY_ID> [ options ] w_scan -ft -c <COUNTRY_ID> [ options ] w_scan -fs -s <SATELLITE_ID> [ options ]DESCRIPTIONw_scan scans for DVB-C, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, ISDB-T and ATSC channels. Any other program accessing the DVB hardware (like e.g. VDR) has to be closed in order to avoid conflicts while running w_scan. w_scan provides the channels in different output formats (Default: VDR channels.conf). For other output formats see OPTIONS.OPTIONSThe following options are available. -f TYPE Frontend type, "a" = ATSC, "c" = DVB-C, "s" = DVB-S/S2, "t" = DVB-T (and ISDB-T) [default] Depending on "TYPE", either of the arguments "-s" or "-c" is mandatory. -c COUNTRY_ID Mandatory argument for ATSC scans, cable scans and terrestrian scans, see option -f. Specifies the country where you try to scan for channels as uppercase two letter identifier, e.g. DE = Germany, US = United States, FR = France Use "-c?" for a list of all known identifiers. -s SATELLITE_ID Mandatory argument for satellite scans, see option -f. Specifies the satellite you wish to scan as uppercase identifier, e.g. S19E2 = 19.2o east, S13E0 = 13.0o east, S0W8 = 0.8o west. Use "-s?" for a list of all known identifiers. -A N specify ATSC scan type 1 = terrestrial [default], 2 = cable, 3 = both, cable and terrestrial. -o N VDR channels.conf format 6 = VDR-1.2 .. VDR-1.6 [default], 7 = VDR-1.7 (for DVB-S2 support) -X generate zap/czap/xine output instead of VDR channels.conf. -x generate initial tuning data output for (dvb-)scan instead of VDR channels.conf. -k generate channels.dvb for kaffeine instead of VDR channels.conf. -L generate VLC xspf playlist (experimental) -M mplayer output instead of vdr channels.conf -G generate output for Gstreamer dvbsrc plugin -h show help -H show expert helpEXPERT OPTIONS-C CHARSET specifies the output charset, i.e. "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-15" use 'iconv --list' to see full list of charsets. -I FILE import dvbscan initial_tuning_data -v verbose (repeat for more) -q quiet (repeat for less) -R N Radio channels 0 = don't search radio channels 1 = search radio channels [default] -T N TV channels 0 = don't search TV channels, 1 = search TV channels [default] -O N Other services 0 = don't search other services, 1 = search other services [default] -E N Conditional access / encrypted channels 0 = only Free TV channels, 1 = include encrypted channels [default] -a N use device /dev/dvb/adapterN/ [default: auto detect] (also allowed: -a /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM) NOTE: This option is deprecated and should be usually omitted. -F Long filter timeout for reading data from hardware. -t N Tuning timeout, increasing may help if device tunes slowly or has bad reception. 1 = fastest [default], 2 = medium, 3 = slowest -i N spectral inversion setting for cable TV 0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = auto [default] -Q DVB-C modulation [default: choosen by country] NOTE: for experienced users only! 0 = QAM64, 1 = QAM256, 2 = QAM128 -S RATE set DVB-C symbol rate, see table: [default: choosen by country] NOTE: for experienced users only!! 0 = 6.9000 MSymbol/s 1 = 6.8750 MSymbol/s 2 = 6.9565 MSymbol/s 3 = 6.9560 MSymbol/s 4 = 6.9520 MSymbol/s 5 = 6.9500 MSymbol/s 6 = 6.7900 MSymbol/s 7 = 6.8110 MSymbol/s 8 = 6.2500 MSymbol/s 9 = 6.1110 MSymbol/s 10 = 6.0860 MSymbol/s 11 = 5.9000 MSymbol/s 12 = 5.4830 MSymbol/s 13 = 5.2170 MSymbol/s 14 = 5.1560 MSymbol/s 15 = 5.0000 MSymbol/s 16 = 4.0000 MSymbol/s 17 = 3.4500 MSymbol/s -e extended DVB-C scan flags. NOTE: for experienced users only! Any combination of these flags: 1 = use extended symbolrate list, 2 = extended QAM scan -l TYPE choose LNB type by name (DVB-S/S2 only) [default: UNIVERSAL], "-l?" for list of known LNBs. -D Nc use DiSEqC committed switch position N (N = 0 .. 3) -D Nu use DiSEqC uncommitted switch position N (N = 0 .. 15) -p <file> use DiSEqC rotor Position file -r N use Rotor position N (N = 1 .. 255) -P ATSC scan: do not use ATSC PSIP tables for scan (PAT and PMT only)EXAMPLESscan satellite 19.2o east: w_scan -fs -s S19E2 scan cable (DVB), Germany: w_scan -fc -c DE scan aerial (DVB), France: w_scan -ft -c FR scan cable (ATSC), United States: w_scan -fa -A2 -c US scan aerial (ATSC), United States: w_scan -fa -A1 -c US use output format VDR-1.7: w_scan [ OTHER OPTIONS ] -o 7 use output format kaffeine: w_scan [ OTHER OPTIONS ] -k use output format zap/czap/xine: w_scan [ OTHER OPTIONS ] -X use output format dvbscan/scan/scan-s2 initial tuning data. w_scan [ OTHER OPTIONS ] -x NOTE: w_scan also performs full scans, so there is generally no need for this.REPORTING BUGSsee README file from source code package.AUTHORWritten by W.Koehler Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Version 2 any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.SEE ALSOvdr(1) March , 2011 w_scan(28)
