I think so.  My backup from before the change appears to have 14400 as
the service ID for R2, whereas now it is 18560.

That's pretty much been the case for me too, though sorting out a config
file for scan for the Mendip transmitter took ages initially (and then I
discovered that our existing aerial wasn't really up to scratch as far
as DVB-T cards were concerned, though it worked mostly fine with an STB
for the previous owners).

AFAIR with that one I just patched the database directly, though I'd
agree that it's probably easier just to rescan.  I've usually found it
easier to use scan to get a channels.conf file and import that though.
For some reason I did find I was getting occasional core dumps when
using the normal scan at one point.  It's quite possible that was more
to do with the particular dvb-t card I was using at the time though and
now I just continue using that method because it's always worked :)

The bleb and ananova scanners are the two I recall.  I have to admit
that I don't recall how hard it was setting the channels up -- other
than my fairly recent switch to a front-end/back-end DVB-T setup, I'd
not touched my analogue system since we last moved, three and a half
years ago.
