John, The transports page gets filled out during the scan. However, what is shown on the dvb transport editor page is 561000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) 567000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) 573000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) 579000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) 585000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) Etc..
When I chose to scan existing transport, just like Adam, it stays at: Status : Scanning Signal Locked Scan Activity: 5% hangs here forever. Signal Strength: fluctuates between 1 and 3 % with an occasional spike to 99% Signal/Noise: 99% solid. Never changes. If I take a look at the terminal window I see 2005-04-01 12:21:35.952 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started 2005-04-01 12:21:35.952 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV. 2005-04-01 12:21:35.952 DVB#0 DVB Signal Monitor Starting 2005-04-01 12:21:37.411 DVB#0 DVB signal f8d4 | snr fdef | ber 0 | unc 0 2005-04-01 12:21:37.541 DVB#0 Signal Locked 2005-04-01 12:21:37.779 DVB#0 Status: LOCK.

Gonna try to find the scan routine in source and see if it starts at 0000 and if it does change it to 0001 and see what happens.
