Open DRM-Free Unencrypted DVB-T2 Tv and Radio in Austria

Most things in Austria terestical TV got encrypted since DVB-T got shut down, but there are still three TV channels and three Radio Channels unencrypted. I had some hard time to find out how to get it working using linux... and non existing documentation of the sender did not help. Howerver... if you have use for detailed channel setup arround vienna, take a look:

Tvheadend seems to lack channel search support using DVB-T2, but puzzeling every value together works fine:

Mux A-WNB

Channel Frequency: 498000000

Bandwitdh: 8MHz

Constellation; QAM/16

Mux B2

Channel Frequency: 578000000

Bandwitdh: 8MHz

Constellation; QAM/16

Unstable Twin Tuner

I am using some twin tuner. That was not supported on older kernel version, but is now supported on current versions. Great? nope. The system/tvheadend gets unstable if two tuner are enabled running for weeks. After disabling one tuner, tvheadend runs reliable for months.

Surround sound

Too bad. While movies where sent with AC-3 5.1 when DVB-T was avaliabel in Austria, there is no unecrypted movie with 5.1 anymore. The only thing that is sent with 5.1. is the radio channel Ö1:

I cant remember where I got values for bandwith and constellation, but frequency can be looked up at ORS.
