"Run a scan" sounds odd. I suggest: "A list of TV stations found by
scanning can be included in the configuration file."

s/videotext informations/teletext information/
s/is only possible/will only work/
(As I understand it, this is extracting data from the teletext lines
at the top of the picture broadcast. Also, extracting channel names
from teletext is probably possible with DVB, but wouldn't make much
sense because it's also broadcast another way (DVB-SI).)

s/allows to watch television channels/displays television channels/
"allows" needs an object as well as an action, but I can't think what
would be appropriate except "you". So, rephrase.

Why has terminal become console in the above? Which is it?
Hope that helps,
