Hi Terry,

Well in that list all apart from:-

Ideal World
ftn
Br'tIdeas
TMF
TheHits

are radio/text stations and so ignored by the current scan code. 

Now for those channels I don't know if this actually matters but your 
multiplex table says:-
2/3, 3/4

But the channels.conf has these down as being:-
FEC_3_4:FEC_3_4

You might want to try tweaking the multiplex to be 3/4 3/4 and re-scanning.

Mind you... don't know why you'd want those channels. :-)
