Hi !

1) Yes, it is possible to include proxy support. You just have to look for
the lines:

...
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent("Mozilla/9.1 " . $ua->agent);

in the Perl script (get_digital_transponders.pl) and add the following line
after these two:

$ua->proxy('http', 'http://localhost:8080/');

Of course you have to enter your favourite proxy into the second argument of
the command.

2) There is an option to scan all transponders of all diseqc and doing a
channel.conf with that. Please look into the 'transponders.dcl.diseqc' file
coming with dtv_scan (in directory src/dtv_scan) for more information.

3) You need the help of lyngsat for this scanning to reduce the scanning
time. If you really would like, you could enter the necessary data for the
transponder settings by hand, or use the included settings for the most
common satellites.

Best regards,

Rolf
