		+	to choose from, in order to scan for the channels you wish to tune in afterwards. By running the scan command, you create a .conf file, essentially a text file, that contains all the channels you can successfully receive:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	~$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Eurobird1-28.5E >latest_channels.conf
		+	scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Eurobird1-28.5E
		+	using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
		+	initial transponder 11623000 H 27500000 2
		+	initial transponder 11224000 V 27500000 2
		+	initial transponder 11527000 V 27500000 2
		+	>>> tune to: 11623:h:0:27500
		+	DVB-S IF freq is 1873000
		+	0x0000 0xc695: pmt_pid 0x0103 BSkyB -- Wired Ocean (running, scrambled)
		+	0x0000 0xc69f: pmt_pid 0x0117 BSkyB -- Russia Today (running)
		+	[and so on...]
		+	dumping lists (797 services)
		+	Done.
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	The .conf file can be edited with any text editor, sorting the channel list as you like. The contents look like this, according to the example above:
		+	<pre>
		+	Wired Ocean:11623:h:0:27500:0:0:50837
		+	Russia Today:11623:h:0:27500:2322:2323:50847
		+	</pre>
		+	which is translated as follows:
		+	<pre>
		+	channel name:frequency:polarity(h for horizontal, v for vertical):number of dvb adapter (0 here):symbol rate:vpid:audio:sid
		+	</pre>
		+	Then you may copy this .conf file to the software you are going to use to tune in and watch TV, for example [[Xine]].
