Description Andrew John Hughes 2011-09-21 17:34:38 UTC
The attached patch needs to be applied to make the uk-EmleyMoor file usable after digital switchover, which occurred today (21-09-2011).

I've sent this patch upstream as well:

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Roger 2011-11-17 17:18:25 UTC
FYI: According to LinuxTV.org, linux-dvb-apps is now considered old/legacy code.

You'll find the newer code only in git - no stable yet(?).

Use their Projects page to find the projects.
http://www.linuxtv.org/projects.php

Which leads to DVB utils (dvd-apps):

You can quickly download a git tip tarball to the left and compile with Make.

It looks like Fedora is using snapshots for this
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2017-08-09 12:59:18 UTC
We would need to move this to take periodical snapshots as our version is completely outdated
Comment 5 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2017-11-26 23:09:33 UTC
I'm already dealing with tvheadend and I could take a look at gpac too. I have just added a dtv-scan-tables package, which has the files that v4l-utils is missing, so once those revdeps are dealt with, this can be last-rited.
Comment 6 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2017-11-28 22:37:29 UTC
Hmm, other distros still package this (usually as dvb-apps) for libdvben50221.so, which is still (optionally) used by tvheadend and not available elsewhere. Maybe we should keep this but without the scan tables.

    media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps: Newer snapshot, EAPI 6, cleanup
    
    As this is no longer maintained upstream, it had been suggested that
    this package be last-rited but there are still utilities and libraries
    that are not available elsewhere. libdvben50221 is still used by
    tvheadend, for example. Other distros still package this accordingly.
    
    The DTV scan tables are no longer included as they have been split out
    into a new project, hence the new dependency.
