Hello David, Coincidentally I was just yesterday working with dvbv5-scan and the initial scan files. dvbv5-scan expects the initial scan files in the new DVBV5 format. w_scan is not producing results in this format. The scan tables at http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/dtv-scan-tables.git/ are in the new format. Some of them are a bit outdated though (send in a patch if you can update it for your area). The v4l-utils package also includes tools to convert between the old and the new format.
