DVB-T using mplayer in Zagreb

It seems that transition to digital television here forced me to refresh my knowledge of channel scanning, and it seems I didn't wrote it down last time, so here are quick notes for next time.

First, I had somehow to find new frequencies, so I hoped over to site of national television and converted it to following format for scan which is part of dvb-apps:

T 754000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE AUTO 8k 1/8 NONE
T 642000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE AUTO 8k 1/8 NONE
T 690000000 8MHz 2/3 NONE AUTO 8k 1/8 NONE
First one is HDTV stream which doesn't really work for me, so I end up with following ~/.mplayer/channels.conf for mplayer which produces following:
#HDTV Promo:754000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_2_3:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_8:HIERARCHY_NONE:8000:8001:500

I commented out first troublesome HDTV stream, and run mplayer with:
mplayer dvb://
and used h and k keys to change channels.
