Where to publish muxes / frequencies of my DVB-C provider?
Added by JP T about 1 year ago
Hi,
I had a lot of trouble finding out the frequencies and symbolrates of my local niche provider.
Is there any database on DVB-C frequencies where I can publish my findings?
I used DVBSCAN to produce lists. Which format is optimal?
thanks
JPT

Ah, sorry. I found that but is missing a how-to.
I cannot find out how to create a dvbv5 format file.
I got dvbv5-scan, but in order to run it, it needs some input.
But I cannot find any info on what it actually wants.
I tried
w_scan -f c -x > dvbscaninput.txt
This finds a lot of data, but doesn't produce any output on STDOUT.
I also tried other output formats which dvbv5-scan was unable to read.
I tried manually created:
[CHANNEL]
DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A
FREQUENCY = 266000000
SYMBOL_RATE = 6900000
INNER_FEC = NONE
MODULATION = QAM/256
INVERSION = AUTO
which resulted in:
ERROR command BANDWIDTH_HZ (5) not found during retrieve
Cannot calc frequency shift. Either bandwidth/symbol-rate is unavailable (yet).
Scanning frequency #1 266000000
Lock (0x1f) C/N= 36,50dB UCB= 24 postBER= 100x10^-3
ERROR dvb_read_sections: no data read on section filter
ERROR error while reading the NIT table
Service Sonnenklar TV, provider BetaDigital: digital television
[like 10 more ...]
Service Bibel TV, provider SES ASTRA: digital television
first, dvbscan did not produce the output expected. ie something to push into git.
second I expected dvbscan to fetch the other muxes automatically after it was able to tune on the first one.
thank you very much

Maybe if you enquire on this Github one of the contributors could guide you through the process. It appears to be more active.
