DESCRIPTION
tvtime-scanner
allows a user to scan all frequencies for stations. This is useful for European
cable provides such as

Casema
which do not use standard frequency tables for their channels.
tvtime-scanner
checks for frequencies across the full band and writes it to your
stationlist.xml file in a table called "Custom". This can be selected by
running "tvtime --frequencies=custom" or by selecting the Custom frequency
table within the OSD menu inside
tvtime.
