(Get the code!)
The packaging nor man-pages do not make clear that these tools only support a very old "legacy" tuner format (DVBv3) and as such fail to work using various instruction sources.
The tuner files are installed via the dependency on 'dtv-scan-tables' and are predominantly DVBv5 format.
For example, scan will fail with:
$ scan /usr/share/
scanning /usr/share/
using '/dev/dvb/
ERROR: cannot parse'[C49 BBC A]
'
ERROR: cannot parse' DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBT
'
ERROR: cannot parse' FREQUENCY = 698000000
'
What is not made clear is that 'dtv-scan-tables' also installs the 'legacy' tables under
/usr/share/
Where the equivalent for the command above would be:
$ scan /usr/share/
However, the tools still fail to parse these files:
scanning /usr/share/
using '/dev/dvb/
