The BBC Mux (Mux 1) and the old "ITV Digital" Muxes (Muxes B, C and D) are 
now all broadcasting using QAM 16 and FEC 3/4.

The "Digital 3&4" Mux (ITV/ITV2/C4) and the "SDN" Mux (Channel 5, QVC etc) 
are still using the old parameters of QAM 64 and FEC 2/3.

Therefore, you should add options to dvbtune in your scanning script to try 
for QAM 16 (-qam 16) and FEC 3/4 (-cr 3_4) (make sure you are using a recent 
CVS version of dvbtune).

You should also not use the "-x" option to dvbtune - it is for scanning the 
network information and doesn't work with DVB-T broadcasts (yet).

The links from http://www.linuxstb.org/dvb-t/ should also give you the exact 
frequencies (including offsets) for your local transmitter.

Dave.
