I was hoping that there would not be any changes to the serviceid
values, but now that the restack is happened, I can see that they did
change the serviceids.  So I have put a new version of the script on
my web server (v1.0).  This has worked for me on my box and my
mother's.  There were some bugs in the "modify" section which have
been fixed.  So it should now work for everyone in a location with a
Kordia mux.

However, I am not sure if the serviceid values will be the same for
the locations which have a JDA mux instead of a Kordia mux.  Is there
anyone out there who is receiving from a JDA mux that can let me know
what the new serviceid values are for you?  I have put a copy of the
script I use for scanning the muxes here:

To use it you will need to change the frequencies to those for your
transmitters, adjust the ADAPTER number, and possibly change "scan-s2"
to "scan" if you do not have a copy of scan-s2, which I got from the
TBS drivers here:
