Low signal, probably. Do you have a signal amplifier connected to your TV tuner?
I have direct vision to Tower ~25km and nice Fresnel, just tuner and 10cm antenna, not sure is LNA activated when scanning. All services are watchable no signal artifacts Where signal can be seen in log?
This is where it timeouts too soon:
service = NovaNews (NOVA Broadcasting Group)
Info: no data from NIT(other) after 13 seconds
Try increasing the timeout with -t2
or -t3
.
I read this as: "no other" frequency in NIT table to scan, also both frequency's have services founded. LOCK need to be enough for frequency to appear in generated frequency list.
Try: w_scan2 -5 -t2
I try, same result can attach log if needed
Now try to also increase the filter timeout: w_scan2 -5 -t2 -F
Don't see any difference in result but this generate and second frequency. Is there any explanation?
Low signal to noise ratio (SNR) leading to more frequent timeouts.

Very low SNR, as reported by "femon". I have much larger values:

("femon" doesn't work for me)
SNR in FEMON is a old bug /or missing standard/ how driver report signal/quality in HEX /DEC/ 00-FF /or 0 to 255/ 000-FFF /0-4096/ 0000-FFFF /0-65536/ or mixed
Why second frequency missing in INIT file?
