entered the scan parameters you have to press the LEFT ARROW to get back to
the previous menu and then you can do the scan. If you press Escape then
all input from the scan parameters window is lost. Do not press Escape,
pres the <.
The channels scanning process is documented in the wiki in
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_Scanning . and  theGUI is documented to
some extent in the paragraph "How the GUI works" in the first page of this
wiki.

When you do a "Scan of all existing transports" the assumption is that
there is already valid content in the transport table.
I recommend using the "Full Scan" for satellite unless you have done a scan
recently.
N.B. When you enter the start frequency of your satellite in the VIdeo
Source then the next time you do a Full Scan the scan parameters for that
frequency are automaticallly obtained from the database.

Hope this helps,
Klaas.

P.S. The scan parameters are correct, when I use them in my system then the
scanning works OK.
