Ditto bad scanning experiences. However I found that doing a manual scan 
of a particular transport and manually choosing which channels to add is 
fairly easy to do if you're only adding a few channels. Doesn't seem to 
trash other channels. Still have to tweak a few things like xmltvid's 
and logo pics but you can do all this with the channel editor.
