Usage

In Debian GNU/Linux and Debian-derived distributions such as Ubuntu: 

 apt-get install {{{frontend}}}

Then create the channels list using the scan utility from the LinuxTV dvb-apps: 

 mkdir ~/.xine
 scan /path/to/initial/tuning/file >~/.xine/channels.conf

Now start up {{{frontend}}} and open the DVB card: 

 {{{frontend}}} dvb://

You should now see a broadcast TV channel.

{{{frontend_specific}}}

Xine appears to only tune DVB-S channels via the channels.conf file if you are using a Universal type lnbf. That is one with an LO: 9750/10600. C-Band LO: 5150 and Ku band LO:10750 commonly used in North America seem to be unsupported as yet unless Deadfly missed something.
