Happy scanning!
Without an initial file, the scanner would have no clue which frequencies to probe. Full frequency sweeps are inefficient and time-consuming. The initial file provides a targeted list of possible carriers, speeding up the scan dramatically and ensuring correct tuning parameters. dvbv5scan initial file
The user then selects country and DVB type from an interactive menu. The generated file contains only frequencies – other parameters are set to AUTO , relying on the demodulator’s auto-detection. Happy scanning

: It reduces the "Total Scan Time" for future runs because the generated initial file only contains frequencies known to work on the user's specific antenna setup.
A valuable new feature for the dvbv5-scan utility would be .
