Specify which channels to scan

[StuckInTheMud]

Is it possible to force SageTV to only scan specific channels when using DVB-T? If so, how?

I'm in a hilltop location and can receive three transmitters, but only interested in one (which has the regional programmes that cover my town).

If I can get this to work correctly, MCE is about to go out the window!!

Can anyone help??

I'm sure it's possible, just how?

What's wrong with letting it scan them all? You can always disable the ones you don't want once the scan is finished.

Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by "scan"?

Hey Jim,

I found that some tweaking was required so that I could include the right transmission sites. For some reason (at least with dvb) Sage won't scan all frequencies, just those defined for the location that you select.

There's a fairly detailed discussion on this here.
