[mythtv-users] MythTV 0.22 and DVB-T channel scanning issues

I was playing with MythBuntu 9.10 beta (which includes mythtv 0.22
pre-release) in a VM last night with a HVR-900 DVB-T tuner connected via
USB pass in. Overall performance of freeview|HD in the VM was reasonably
good, but I did have some issues setting up the channels.

I setup the DVB device as normal and created a new video source with an
empty grabber for the purposes of testing.

Then I assigned the video source to the DVB device and selected channel scan.

Under the scanner I selected full scan and New Zealand. This picked up all
3 multiplexes and the correct number of channels per multiplex, but only
loaded the HD channels (TV One, TV 2, TV 3 and freeview hd) into the
channel line up.

The only way I could get these other SD channels to load was via direct
SQL against the database. Once loaded they all tuned without issue.

So has anyone else had issues with the DVB-T channel scanner on 0.22?
