Ta, so its Stockland Hill i'me using.

and this one has a full listing of transmitter data, which includes

I fouund some other info and it says what I need for scan is:-

T 374000000 8MHz 3/4 NONE QAM16 2K 1/32 NONE

The channel for mux 1 is 22.

I have info whitch says

centre frequency = (UHF Channel Number)*8 + 306
so
22*8+306 = 482

which looks a lot to small ;(

Also where is the QAM?

Now i'me a bit confused. I thought you needed the frequency whitch you put
in the file and run

scan > channels.conf

You then used channels.conf with tzap. How do you use tzap without a
channels.conf?
