I am looking for an Howto setup channels in VLC

I have tried to setup "Device Properties" and "Tuner properties" with and without "tuner country code" = 33 (France), SECAM_L1, "Réglage automatique" for the Tuner.
But no Image
Any help please the world cup is coming

There is NO automatic channel scan. VLC was not intended to be a replacement for your capture cards software.

Many users have found some ingenious methods for doing what they want with VLC.

For example:

You can make a m3u playlist and then switch channel with N and P.

This m3u playlist looks like this when opened in notepad:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Viasat Explorer
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=1
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,SVT 1
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=4
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,Kanal 5
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=20
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,SVT 2
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=21
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,TV 4
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=23
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,TV 3
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=25
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,BBC Prime
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=26
dshow://
#EXTINF:-1,Eurosport
#EXTVLCOPT:dshow-tuner-channel=28
dshow://

The channel number represents the frequency of the broadcast.

Not with VLC. The channel represents the frequency and there is no fine tune as this went out a very long time ago.

VLC was never intended to be a replacement for the software that came with your capture device or TV tuner.

I haven't seen an equivalent frequency --> channel chart in years. Perhaps searching the web will yield better results.

My TV card could scan to all 99 channels or so (New Zealand)and lock (tune) to 13 but lately I go as high as channel 11 (lock to 4 channels). I think this is due to installing the latest Directx (9.0c). Can anyone confirm this or point to somewhere?

BTW: Love VLC.
