UK Terrestrial Providers

andyblac · Feb 4, 2014

guy's i need your help.

i have worked out how to fix UK provider but i need your help in updating the terrestrial.xml

here is a updated Provider for my Transmitter.

Code:

	<terrestrial name="Pontop Pike (North East, England) (Europe DVB-T/T2)" flags="5">
		<transponder centre_frequency="570000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="578000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="698000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="706000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="738000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="746000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="754000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="770000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
		<transponder centre_frequency="778000000" bandwidth="0" system="0" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
	</terrestrial>

let me explain what to do, open the URL

Code:

http://www.ukfree.tv/transmitters.php?dt=&g=grpW&s=rf&P=[B]POSTCODEHERE[/B]

changing the postcode to yours, you will see a page with transmitter for your area, find the one your arial is pointed to in the far RIGHT column, the look to the FAR left and click the Cxx (xx = number) link.

in the next page you will see a frequency use the above example and start changing it to suite your transmitter. ONLY change the frequency.

then go back to previous page the find next frequency and repeat.

Any user who could help us with this, we would be greatly appreciative, and it will help us bring DVB-T scanning to ABM.

Many thanks.

also not just UK ANY terrestrial providers welcome.

Andy, do the transponders change at all? Or do they not?

Also, might be worth putting up in the first post the list of transmitters that we currently have...

Not too sure if this is correct but my closest transmitter is Crystal Palace and these are all the Cxx for that transmitter:

C22 (482.0MHz) after switchover
C23 (490.0MHz) after switchover
C25 (506.0MHz) after switchover
C26 (514.0MHz) after switchover
C28 (530.0MHz) after switchover
C29 (538.0MHz) after switchover
C30 (546.0MHz) after switchover
C33 (570.0MHz) after switchover
C35 (586.0MHz) after switchover

Would be difficult to answer for all countries

DaMacFunkin · Apr 19, 2014

Sorry mate i could provide info for winter hill in the same format as IAmATeaf, but as i dont have a DVB-T tuner my xml file is just standard info so i wouldn't want to paste stuff in there incorrectly.
C31 (554.0MHz)
C37 (602.0MHz)
C49 (698.0MHz)
C50 (706.0MHz)
C54 (738.0MHz)
C55 (746.0MHz)
C57 (762.0MHz)
C58 (770.0MHz)
C59 (778.0MHz)

p.s.I have a Hauppauge NOVA-T 70001 around somewhere, is there a solo2 / duo2 driver for that stick?
Thanks.
edit: stick is version 1106, don't think it will work, sorry.

can you confirm it works ok ?

abu baniaz · Apr 19, 2014

I am afraid I do not have a dvb-t tuner.

finbarr · Apr 19, 2014

Hey Andy, I want to do this but I'm unsure about it.

For the Irish stations, When I do a scan I use manual channel scan and not the frequency scan. Can I still build an XML for you?

E.g.

I look up my transmitter from here
http://www.tvtrade.ie/digital-tv-aerial-selection-guide.html

My one is Maghera and I scan channels 48 and 55 to quickly get my channels back. I would like to get this added to Terrestrial.xml

Ok I think I've figured it out.

I had to change some of the other items in order for the scan to work for me. Picks up 19 channels for me now.

Code:

    <terrestrial name="Maghera(Ireland) (Europe DVB-T)" flags="5">
        <transponder centre_frequency="690000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="2" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
        <transponder centre_frequency="746000000" bandwidth="0" constellation="3" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="2" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />
    </terrestrial>

Just for reference, this is the Waltham transmitter that I posted in the development thread that worked fine for me previously

Code:

        <transponder centre_frequency="554000000" bandwidth="0" system="1" constellation="4" guard_interval="4" transmission_mode="3" hierarchy_information="4" inversion="2" />

Is that the total number of terrestrial broadcasts? As over here, there are about 130 odd channels usually picked up in a scan...

Yes, only Irish stations are transmitted over the air. The rest have to be picked up using FreeSat. See http://www.tvtrade.ie/can-i-get-utv-bbc-and-channel-4-on-saorview.html
