[linux-dvb] Re: Problem with scan app

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

I've made a simple modification to the scan app that will check if the 
frequency has already been used. It now gets three of the UK FTA DTT 
multiplexes but not any of the others. There is still some repetition 
but no endless loops.

My solution is far from ideal (it's essentially an array of frequencies 
that gets checked just before the app retunes to the next frequency) 
but it seems to help. I'm going to have a closer look when I get some 
time, but I'd appreciate it if someone can point me in the right 
direction.

I was wondering if anyone knew why I wasn't getting the other three 
multiplexes (I'm getting mux1, muxB and muxD)?

Cheers,

Stu
