Ok, my transmitter is Bluebell Hill in Kent, UK.
My scan command string is: scan -o vdr | sort > channels.conf

There isn't a definition for my transmitter in the initial.h
file. However, as I said, it manages fine to scan after the terrestrial
card has been used for something. I can probably add a defintion for my
transmitter (but i'm currently watching Bad Girls)

So i'll try that and let you know in a bit.
