Hey Pete - No - nothing. It does not find the channels - if you didnt know
they existed, you still wouldnt after scanning.

It is not signal or antenna. Other tuners have worked fine on the same
antenna, as does the TV.
All channels 'cept SBS and 9 are fine. SBS and 9 are not found unless I use
the tzap or transport methods mentioned previously.

these two channels using :-

SBS
Freq: 536625000
Bandwidth: 7Mhz
Inversion: AUTO
Mod: QAM-64
LD Code: None
HD Code: 2/3
Trans Mode: 8k
Guard: 1/8
Hierachy: None

Channel 9 (go gem and 9)
Freq 191625000
BW 7Mhz
Inversion Auto
Modulation QAM-64
LP Coderate 3/4
HP Coderate 3/4
Trans 8K
Gaurd 1/16
Heirachy None

..rescanning with these transports finds and creates the missing channels,
but they dont work at all unless
I enable quick tuning - if I do that, I can watch them using live TV - but
still get no EIT EPG - so no scheduling at this time.
