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.
