Thanks for all the input from everyone - got there in the end.

Had to manually scan at 530, 562, 578, 594 & 610MHz to get everything. I
can't find a way of adjusting the scan timeout and it appears to be too
short on this TBS6281 I'm using.

With the extra muxes, I guess I should fire up my HVR-2200 on DVB-T as I
don't use the analog part any more (no Sky for over a year!!) so no need
for the PAL patches. I recall that any kernel less than 3 years old will
drive it.
