Well that is an other question and valid argument, why is there no
sufficient solution to scan for channels in VDR, like is quit normal on
commercial solution. Not that I like to have a stupid on, which provides me
4000 channels from satellite, whereas only 40-80 or so are really relevent
for me and do have trouble to sort it out laters, like it is also quit
normal on commercial solutions.
There is at a command line tool available, "w_scan" or a plugin
"vdr-plugin-wirbelscan". But yes I can go with the thought, this should be
rather a nativ VDR function.
But this will be pretty difficult to implement, since VDR runs with a
uncounted number of DVB devices. Whereas commercial solutions do need to
work just with their one and only DVB device type. It doesn't matter if it
is avaiblable with DVB-C/T/S receivers, it's always just one type. So the
software does need to be able to run with 3 different DVB type in max. and
not with a thousend or so ...
