Right...I believe it's pretty much the same here.   For U.S. digital
TV stations we may have channels 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 etc, all of which
are assigned to one frequency.  In the database they appear to be on
the dtv_multiplex table, whose ids get assigned to those individual
channels.

If the transport scan simply scans one of those leaving all other
channels alone, I could probably get by using that.
