When you scan ensure that you select Desired services: All. The BBC Red
button channels are marked as data. Unfortunately, this will result in
many more channels being detected. Suggest that you use a script (like
the Wiki www.mythtv.org/wiki/UK_Channel_Assignments) to hide the
unwanted.
You can list the BBC data channels:
mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv -D mythconverg -e"\
select channum,serviceid from channel\
where default_authority like '%bbc.co.uk' and callsign not like 'bbc%'"
