Comment:

 I'm not sure what it is that breaks due to freqid being null (as it should
 for DVB-T channels IMHO).

 FreqID is for analogue channels containing the id/name of the channel.
 E.g. "21" when the transmission has a center frequency of 306 + 8 * **21**
 MHz / 474 MHz.

 See http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/guidance/tech-guidance
 /transmitter-frequency/


 The easiest way forward for your script appears to be to use the mplex id
 or the frequency from dtv_multiplex instead of freqid.

 For your use case the way to channel scan appears to be to just keep the 8
 relevant transports and rescan only these known transports. (thus losing
 the freqid)

 Can you confirm, that these two suggestions lead to a working setup?
