# ATVCHANNELSDU

1. Mapping channel names

Check /tmp/TV.xml to find the channelnames you will be using:

    <channel id=¨3.tvgids.nl>
        <display-name>Nederland 3</display-name>
       </channel>

and find a frequency table for the frequencies your cable company uses, like on http://www.upc.nl/frequencies_select.php.

2. Configuring local_conf.py

TV_CHANNELS uses 3 columns: the id used in TV.xml, the name that gets displayed in freevo interface, and an aribtrary name you use for your mapping with FREQUENCY_TABLE:

    TV_CHANNELS = [('1.tvgids.nl', 'Nederland 1', 'NED1'),
            ('2.tvgids.nl', 'Nederland 2', 'NED2'),
            ('3.tvgids.nl', 'Nederland 3', 'NED3'),
            ('4.tvgids.nl', 'RTL 4', 'RTL4'),
            ('31.tvgids.nl', 'RTL 5', 'RTL5'),
            ('37.tvgids.nl', 'NET 5', 'NET5'),
            ('36.tvgids.nl', 'SBS 6', 'SBS6'),
            ('46.tvgids.nl', 'Yorin', 'YORIN'),
            ('34.tvgids.nl', 'Veronica', 'VERONICA'),
            ('6.tvgids.nl', 'KETNET', 'KETNET'),
            ('89.tvgids.nl', 'Nickelodeon', 'NICKELODEON'),
            ('35.tvgids.nl', 'TMF', 'TMF'),
            ('25.tvgids.nl', 'MTV', 'MTV'),
            ('26.tvgids.nl', 'CNN', 'CNN') ]

In FREQUENCY_TABLE you use the name from 3rd column of TV_CHANNELS and the frequency in kHz:

    FREQUENCY_TABLE = {
            'NED1'          :       216000,
            'NED2'          :       184000,
            'NED3'          :       192000,
            'RTL4'          :       720000,
            'RTL5'          :       728000,
            'SBS6'          :       792000,
            'YORIN'         :       736000,
            'VERONICA'      :       672000,
            'NET5'          :       784000,
            'KETNET'        :       208000,
            'NICKELODEON'   :       536000,
            'MTV'           :       768000,
            'TMF'           :       568000,
            'CNN'           :       752000
    }

    }
