Others may have more helpful responses, but in my experience, the built-in
MythTV channel scanner has never worked for me. When I need to add cable or
broadcast channels, I use external tools to create a channels.conf file,
then import that to MythTV. I then usually have to go back and manually edit
the database to correct some things.

You can get started by looking at this:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Adding_Digital_Cable_Channels_(For_ATSC/QAM_Tuner_Cards_--_USA/Canada)

Even though that document describes the process in the US and Canada, it can
be used on other standards by changing the appropriate patterns. For
example, after installing DVB Apps, look in the DVB-T folder instead of
ATSC. You'll see several files appropriate to Spain.

Good luck!
