Thanks for that. I scanned them last night and that's removed the
non-existent channel errors. I didn't really understand the scan but it
was late at night, so I'll have another look today.
The signal strength and signal to noise seemed quite low, which puzzles
me since I have a decent antenna pointed at a transmitter in its strong
signal area and that's fed through a distribution amplifier. My TV and
Humax PVR seem to be happy.
Also, it doesn't seem to have captured all the multiplexes. I haven't
yet checked the channel listings in detail but they're not complete. I
got a different list using dvbv5-scan. There's a page at
<https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Command_Line_Channel_Scanner> which
frustratingly doesn't tell me how to actually run a channel scan from
the command line. What's the command?

Thanks, that works a treat.

FYI, I downloaded the source RPM from packman and can see that the spec
file was updated from a previous version, but not everything was
updated :( I've bug-reported it so I hope it will be fixed soon.
Otherwise I might try installing by hand.
