Description Matthew 2015-08-12 13:15:40 UTC
I installed the Kaffeine package and tried to scan for TV channels.

It finds my DVB usb dongle under devices, but will not find any channels.

At first I thought it just needed the right transmitter to be selected, it was on auto, but never found any channels.
First time I tried to select the UK transmitter in my area and ran the scan, the scan found no channels at all.

It was suggested on one site to use the option to update scan data over internet.  However after that the UK transmitters all vanished and have yet to reappear.

I also find Kaffeine  still says "Scan data last updated on 01/03/2014", so that entry isn't updating either.

The problem seems to be that Kaffeine has not pulled down the full transmitter list off the internet and so now it can't be set to scan UK transmitters.  Additionally it's not saving any scan results as it keeps saying it last updated last year.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Kaffeine
2.Go to Configure TV and attempt to set the source
3.No UK transmitters listed

Actual Results:  
Can't select UK transmitters and setting source to auto, gets no scan results at all.

Expected Results:  
Should be able to scan automatic and get some channels, or select UK-Caradon Hill tx and then scan it's specific frequencies to get the local channels.  Device I am using works in Windows on this dual boot computer, so the hw works.  Fedora detects the device as it's listed in Kaffeine ok.

Tried running updates but it still hasn't sorted out Kaffeine.

Fetching the scan file works fine. The external resource is just outdated. Will fix soon.

Use this http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Dvbv5-scan to scan your channels and then send the results to linux-media@vger.kernel.org

Let me know when this is done and Kaffeine source will be updated.

As configuration files for Digital TV are stored at dtv-scan-tables git tree, the right solution is to send a patch with the channel scans to linux-media@vger.kernel.org.

 As this bug is not directly related to Kaffeine, I'm closing it.
