Two things: If you scan with `-v', you should get some
feedback as to how close your receiver is to locking on
the frequency.
Second, it may or may not be a problem, as one of my cards
managed to tune and lock a carrier even when fed totally
wrong tuning data apart from the correct frequency, but
are you sure that FEC_3_4 is correct also for the LP code
rate? The tuning data I see in recent dvb-apps gives `NONE'
-- this probably won't affect anything, but in the unlikely
chance it might...

The above frequency is for BBC4; ITV uses 64-QAM unlike the
BBC multiplexes, so I'll assume that is correct in your
initial tuning data (as the above CRLP value doesn't match
that based on the OFCOM data in dvb-apps)...

Can you give the lines with the PIDs of these `missing' channels
which you have found? Like BBC4 with which you had problems
below...

^^^^ ^^^^
This is wrong -- at least after 19h your-time -- but in case
you did the scan before 19h your-time, you may have gotten
correct PIDs for CBBC+CBeebies -- but not for BBC3+4, as the
correct PIDs are only broadcast during the time those programs
are actually on-air, and `tzap' is not smart enough to take
the Service ID and derive the up-to-date PIDs from that...
So, basically, if you could post what you have for Mux B at
562MHz (ch32), then we can see if you did get correct data
for the radios and the then-active TV services.
Also you said the ITV Mux 2 caused problems in your initial
scan, so if you have problems `tzap'ing those channels, then
posting that data would be useful.
