It's been a while from this answer.

Since then, I have tried to scan the channels several times, from 
mythtv-setup and with the dvbtools.

scan and w_scan find the same channels, and all those who are provided 
fta are there.

mythtv-setup misses some transports completely.

I will try to insert the missing transports in the 'dtv_multiplex' table 
manually, and the scan again from mythtv-setup.

But there are several columns in the 'dtv_table', for which I don't know 
the value to insert. These are 'mplexid' and 'transportid'. How can I 
find out the appropriate values for those fields ? They are not in the 
'channels.conf' file generated with scan or w_scan.

Thanks and regards
Yann
