[vdr] Re: Generating channels.config for vdr

[Stuart Wallace <stuart@wapbot.co.uk>]

Hmmm, 
  
When I run scan without the -c option it complains that it's not a frequency scanner and that I should specify either the -c option or an initial conf file. I don't have the conf file so I specified the -c option. What should I use as the initial conf file? 
  
Cheers,

If you specify the '-c' option, scan simply uses the current 
transponder. It will not touch the frontend device...

               ^^^^^^^^^ 
...and the tuning parameters are missing.

Either you have to fill-in these fields manually or use scan 
without '-c'.
