On my Debian setup it's /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-WinterHill

No luck here :-(

I'm on version 0.21.svn20080706-0.0, I guess it's fairly old, but I 
don't really want to change anything at the moment.

dvbscan just fails with "Unable to query frontend status" which 
Google tells me is (or was ?) a common bug. However scan worked and 
found the five muxes I expected to be present.

Bug when I go into mythtv-setup and tell it to import channels.conf, 
it just says "Timeout Scanning n -- no signal" where n goes from 0 to 
4. Ticking the "Ignore timeout" button makes now difference.

Any ideas ?

I've also tried a full tuned scan setting various combinations of the 
options listed by scan - still no signal.
