I thought I should come back on this.  In fact the scanning process, 
even as it is now, can be quite slick if you know your transmitter. 
All that should be needed, at most locations in the UK, is the frequency 
of a single multiplex.  Given that, there is still scope for improvement 
in that some of the other parameters found during the scan don't always 
make it into the database.

You had troubles because, as you found, there are also routes through 
the process that apparently don't converge to the desired configuration, 
at least with DVB-T in the UK, and there are no built in warnings that 
stop you taking them.  In fact, IIRC, you get to them first if you go 
through the setup procedure in sequence from the start.

Anyway, rescanning shouldn't be needed often, and maybe it _will_ get 
better :-)
