Description
-----------
NAScan is a VDR channel scanner specifically designed to deal with the
idiosyncrasies of various North American satellite providers.
Installation
------------
Make sure to copy all the files in the "config" directory into
<VDR's config directory>/plugins/nascan/
and edit them according to your needs.
Output
------
There are two output options: "by source" and "single file".
By source: One file will be created per source named "channels-.conf".
The channels will not be sorted and the "number" script will not be
used.
Single file: All channels found during the scan will be written to a single
file named "channels.conf". Channels will be sorted by the number
obtained from the "number" script.
Notes
-----
- VDR must not be set to update names (Setup -> DVB -> Update channels) or
else long channel names and the provider name will be lost.
- Setting the SDT, NIT or PMT timeouts to 0 will disable them entirely.
However, if no data is received, the user will have to cancel the scan.
- Modulations cannot be correctely reported with VDR 1.6.0 or lower. All
transponders will be listed as QPSK.
