Sir. Thank you so much for taking the time to post clear instructions!

I've spent hours wrestling with a transmitter update in April 2018 due to
MythTV and its channel scanner not picking the strongest signal channel,
only the first transport it comes across.

Unfortunately it was getting signals from two transmitters, one very weak
but first in line so to speak. So 50% of channels were missing.
And the DVB-T Linux Apps files are out of date.

Your post has everything working again

Thank you!
