Hello,

How do you perform the channel scanning? E.g.

* Install [dvb-apps](http://packages.debian.org/dvb-apps) and perform the channel scanning:

$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nl-All > channels.conf

You will see among other staff something like this:

* Install any player that supports DVB on your wish (Xine, mplayer, Xawtv, Me TV7).
For e.g. xine and mplayer copy the scanned channels information to ~/.xine/channels.conf and ~/.mplayer/channels.conf correspondingly. Launch the player:

$ xine "dvb://Nederland 1"

* Enjoy :)
