I am afraid I am the bearer of bad news. Channel scanning is broken. 
Manual entry is the way to go. Be sure to check that the dtv_transport 
table has the correct frequency and that the channels table has the 
correct dtv_transport number and data stream number listed in the 
record. To make sure that you can get update info from your listing 
provider make sure the xmltvid number and callsign exactly match that 
given in the listings.
