I had already installed dvb-apps, which are in /usr/share rather than
/usr/local and also had the .tzap folder.

The command (as modified to reflect the slight difference in location)
resulted in a channels.conf file that listed 141 records which seems to
comprise all of the freeserve channels that I need.

How do I now utilise this information to get the scan done in Mythtv-setup?

I have tried re-scanning in mythtv-setup using the -v all option and
directed logging to another file. The results of this scan (for one channel)
are:

Looking at the sql commands in relation to my mythconverg database, I can
see why this scan does NOT return any results. The first sql command using
cardinput table will work, but the second one using dtv_multiplex table will
not generate ANY result because my dtv_multiplex table is NOT populated. Do
I have to manually populate the dtv_multiplex table?
