-Do not download transponder data as part of the build
-
-If dvb-scan is enabled, tvheadend will download the transponders data
-from the dvb-apps package. This does not play well with buildroot.
-
-Instead, we rely on the dvb-apps package to install those files, so
-it is no longer needed to install those as part of tvheadend.
