Henk,

Scantv has an -a option to check at all tunable frequencies. Getting these 
into mythtv is another issue. The database design needs to be overhauled. E. 
g. separating xmltv id's from frequencies and make them work for stations 
(wich can send at several frequencies). At the moment you can not use 
multiple xmltv sources (e. g. web based and nxtvepg).
