NAME

       stationlist.xml - tvtime station configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       ~/.tvtime/stationlist.xml

DESCRIPTION

       The stationlist.xml file contains the configuration of channel information for capture cards with tuners.
       It contains a list of active channels along with their frequencies, renumbering information, and  channel
       name.   The  stationlist.xml file is updated by tvtime at runtime to store settings across sessions.  For
       this reason, you should not edit this file while tvtime is running, as your changes may be overwritten.

       This file is created or updated whenever channel information is changed in tvtime.   This  is  done  when
       renumbering  a  channel,  using  the  channel  scanner, or manually activating or deactivating a specific
       channel from the list.

       Channel settings are saved specific to norm and frequency table.

           <?xml version="1.0"?>
           <!DOCTYPE stationlist PUBLIC "-//tvtime//DTD stationlist 1.0//EN"
             "http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/DTD/stationlist.dtd">
           <stationlist xmlns="http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/DTD/">
             <list norm="NTSC" frequencies="US-Cable">
               <station ... />
               ... station list
             </list>
           </stationlist>

       That is, each norm/frequency combination will get  its  own  section  in  the  configuration  file.   The
       frequencies name is not special, you can have frequencies="foobar" and running
           tvtime -f foobar
       will do the right thing.  The norm, however, must match the norm being used.

       Entries in a list are in the following form:

           <station name="CNN" active="1" position="18"
                    band="US Cable" channel="18"/>
           <station name="DSF" active="1" position="12"
                    band="VHF E2-E12" channel="E12"/>

STATIONS

       Each station has its own properties that should be set.

       name   The human-readable name of the current station.

       active When set to 1, the channel is active.  To deactivate the channel, set this value to 0.

       position
              This  setting  specifies  the  position  the  channel  occupies on the dial.  This allows users to
              arbitrarily map any particular channel to a particular position on the dial.

       band
       channel

              The possible bands and channels available in tvtime are:

              Band name          Channels provided
              US Cable           1–99
              US Cable 100       100–125
              US Two-Way         T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12 T13, T14
              US Broadcast       2–83
              China Broadcast    1–68, A1–A7, B1–B31, C1–C5
              Japan Broadcast    1–62
              Japan Cable        13–63
              VHF E2-E12         E1–E12
              VHF S1-S41         S1–S41
              VHF Misc           X, Y, Z, Z+1, Z+2
              VHF France         K01–K10, KB–KQ, H01–H19
              VHF Russia         R1–R12, SR1–SR19
              VHF Australia      AS1–AS12, AS5A, AS9A
              VHF Italy          A–H, H1, H2
              VHF Ireland        I1–I9
              VHF South Africa   1–13
              UHF                U21–U69
              UHF Australia      AU28–AU69
              Australia Optus    01–058

              Custom channels can be included manually by specifying the frequency in megahertz:

                  <station name="2" active="1" position="0"
                           band="Custom" channel="55.69MHz"/>

       norm   A per-channel norm can be specified in the stationlist.  This is for stations which  receive  both
              PAL  and  SECAM  stations,  such that they can choose the colour encoding format per-channel.  The
              only valid values here are either PAL or SECAM.

       network
              Sets the name of the network for the OSD display.  In NTSC regions,  this  is  set  from  the  XDS
              information in the VBI if VBI decoding is enabled.

       call   Sets  the  call letters of the network for the OSD display.  In NTSC regions, this is set from the
              XDS information in the VBI if VBI decoding is enabled.

       xmltvid
              Sets the XMLTV channel identifier to associate this channel with if  tvtime  cannot  automatically
              make the association.  For following channel definition in an XMLTV file:

                <channel id="I10119.labs.zap2it.com">
                  <display-name>CICA</display-name>
                  <display-name>TV Ontario (CICA)</display-name>
                  <display-name>Canadian Independent</display-name>
                </channel>

              An associated stationlist entry would be:

                  <station name="2" active="1" position="0"
                           band="Custom" channel="55.69MHz"
                           xmltvid="I10119.labs.zap2it.com"/>
