 Because only DVB-T has other frequency descriptors, they are not used
 at all on DVB-C/S.

 As has been mentioned before, the underlying issue will be due to the
 broadcaster sending out bogus tables. Numerous issues exist with this
 and we already have another ticket tracking what needs to be done to
 improve the scanner's handling of providers who send non compliant
 stream.
