MythTV Channel scanner
myth_scanner-0.95.8
myth_scanner - a replacement for MythTV's built-in scanner
================================================== ========
What is it?
myth_scanner is a perl script which uses the MythTV.pm module
and dvbsnoop command to gather changes in transport/channel
information for any DVB providor supporting proper SDT/NIT
tables. These include (but are not limited to):
Dish Network
Bell ExpressVu
GlobeCast
NOTE: When used for GlobeCast, the -ignore_eit option is
required.
Directories in this package:
patches/ - Contains some patches which can be used with the scanner.
utilities/ - Some utilities I threw together which depend on SI-Parser.
Requirements.

0.95.8:
- Update channel names along with their callsigns. I don't know how this was
missed in the first version, but here ya go.
0.96.9:
- Fixed a problem with SI::Parse::huffmanToString() which prevented
it from decompressing PID 0x300.
- Added auto commfree flagging option. This set commflag to 1 for any
event which has tiers associated with it.
- Added COMFREE section. Any callsign matching expressions within this
section get commfree set to 1.
- Added a more restrictive option to -filter_tiers. Use a value of 1
for the old hehavior, or 2 for a more restrictive filtering. A value
of 2 filters out all non-subscribed channels with the exception of
PPV channels. Use a value of 3 for ALL non-subscrived channels.
- Assume if tier byte 6 is 0xff, the channel is automatically subscribed.
