Transport is the digital data stream that is transmitted on a frequency
or transponder.

Basically you should have DVB transmitters around you that operate on
different sets of frequencies. Pick the transmitter site that you expect
to have the best reception and select any of its frequencies for the
channel scan. Then scan and let MythTV learn the other frequencies from
that one frequency.

You should end up with one set of channels instead of multiple copies of
each channel.

I don't know of specific websites for looking up UK transmitters, but I
sent the dataset from our frequency agency to dvbtmap.eu so they cover
more or less all of Europe.
