Comment (by robertm):

 (In [26168]) Channel Scanner:  Multiple fixups for the channel scanner.
 First, fix multiple wrong arguments being passed to IsConflicting()-- the
 serviceid was being passed in as the sourceid for some reason.  Also,
 construct ClearQAM channels are they used to be-- freqid-service_id  (ie
 105-2).  For some reason, some of the MPEG and SCTE channels are *still*
 being considered conflicting in spite of the fact that they appear nowhere
 in the video source, but then the suggested channum (which is identical to
 the original, conflicting one) is inserted just fine.

 This leaves the channel scanner in a state where it is at least possible
 to just scan, Insert All, and then hit Suggest->OK until the "conflicting"
 channels are all inserted, and gives a proper, working lineup.  The only
 thing left to do is figure out why these channels are still being
 considered Conflicting.
