After importing the channels.conf file it creates duplicate channels in my channels table in the database. I just edit the zap2it channel listings to match the info from the channels.conf scanned file in certain areas like the source and all the other different info except like the actual channel numbers used. so far I  havn't  had a problem changing the sourceid to match the dvb card and then also changing the channelid for say channel 762 to 3762 (if the a180 tuner is source 3). I do all this through mysql-front program. Hope that isn't too complicated a way to explain things.

Do you know if there has been a change in the dvb-apps package 
recently?  The wiki says to use "scan" to build the channels.conf, but 
with the dvb-apps I pulled from CVS and built, there is only dvbscan and 
atscscan (which are the same file just copied from one name to the 
other, according to the README file).  There is a scan.c and make 
creates scan.o, but no executable file called scan.

Does dvbscan do the same thing as scan?

Thanks,
  Jeff.
