[SOLVED] w_scan (20170107-2.1) DVB-T2
Added by Marc Ominus almost 3 years ago
I have just try scanning (blind scan) for new multiplexes in our communal aerial and satellite system,
and trying w_scan, but no T2 multiplexes appear in my scan for T/T2....:
sudo service tvheadend stop
w_scan -x -c GB
w_scan version 20170107 (compiled for DVB API 5.10)
using settings for UNITED KINGDOM
DVB aerial
DVB-T GB
scan type TERRESTRIAL, channellist 6
output format initial tuning data

Force frontend as DVB-T2

Forcing DVB-T2 on w_scan (20170107-2.1), how would that be done?
w_scan --help nor w_scan -H give any clues
Thank you for the w_scan2, works great Here is howto for benefit of others:
https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/w_scan2
git clone https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/w_scan2.git
cd w_scan2
./configure
sudo lscpu | grep -E '^CPU\('
make -j 4
./w_scan2 --help
./w_scan2 -H
Here is the output: (the first 4 empty T2 muxes indicate upcoming change, or is it just glitch?

I have found another version of w_scan, yet to test ....w_scan_cpp
https://www.gen2vdr.de/wirbel/w_scan_cpp/index2.html
TSDuck/tsscan working great, another tool for blind scan, thank you. :(
default command did not find the T2 muxes again:
tsscan --adapter 0 --bandwidth 8000000 -u -l --show-modulation --verbose
but the one below did :)
tsscan --adapter 0 --bandwidth 8000000 -u -l --show-modulation --delivery-system DVB-T2 --verbose
I could not get "scan" working for blindscan - needs initial tuning data for at least one transponder/channel
RE: w_scan (20170107-2.1) DVB-T2 - Added by saen acro almost 3 years ago
No of this use blindscan
they use NIT table from muxes
or fixed 8 mhz step based on regional settings.

as you can see work on specific chip's
