✨ tvtime-scanner ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the General Commands Manual section of the tvtime-scanner(1) page, and it's literally an all-band scanner for tvtime to help users of European cable providers that do not use standard frequencies 💖

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

so tvtime-scanner lets you scan all the frequencies for stations 🦋 it's giving main character energy for European cable providers such as UPC or Casema, which do not use standard frequency tables for their channels — no cap, they just do their own thing 🙈

what it does is check for frequencies across the full band and write it to your stationlist.xml file in a table called "Custom" ✨ and then you can select that table by running:

tvtime --frequencies=custom

or by selecting the Custom frequency table within the OSD menu inside tvtime 🌸 periodt.

OPTIONS

• -h, --help — show usage information, bestie 🫶
• -F, --configfile=FILE — additional config file to load settings from
• -d, --device=NAME — video4linux device to use (defaults to /dev/video0)
• -i, --input=INPUTNUM — video4linux input number (defaults to 0). cards commonly have a bunch of sources — for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my tuner and source 1 is the composite input. the scanner requires using an input that has a tuner, so don't skip this one 💀
• -n, --norm=NORM — the mode to set the tuner to (defaults to NTSC). valid modes are:
  • NTSC
  • PAL
  • SECAM
  • PAL-NC
  • PAL-M
  • PAL-N
  • NTSC-JP

bestie if you pick a norm that isn't on that list, that's not it. stick to the seven up there 👑
