Comment (by danielk):

 It looks like the cable provider is sending out bogus data:
 {{{
 Channel #0 name() 1008-0 mod(SCTE mode 2) cTSID(0x17)
  pnum(100) ETM_loc(0) access_ctrl(0) hidden(0)
 path_select(0) out_of_band(0) hide_guide(1) service_type(2)
 source_id(1102)

 Channel #1 name() 1008-0 mod(SCTE mode 2) cTSID(0x17)
  pnum(101) ETM_loc(0) access_ctrl(0) hidden(0)
 path_select(0) out_of_band(0) hide_guide(1) service_type(2)
 source_id(1104)

 Channel #2 name() 1008-0 mod(SCTE mode 2) cTSID(0x17)
  pnum(103) ETM_loc(0) access_ctrl(0) hidden(0)
 path_select(0) out_of_band(0) hide_guide(1) service_type(2)
 source_id(1106)

 Channel #3 name() 1008-0 mod(SCTE mode 2) cTSID(0x17)
  pnum(104) ETM_loc(0) access_ctrl(0) hidden(0)
 path_select(0) out_of_band(0) hide_guide(1) service_type(2)
 source_id(1108)

 Channel #4 name() 1008-0 mod(SCTE mode 2) cTSID(0x17)
  pnum(102) ETM_loc(0) access_ctrl(0) hidden(0)
 path_select(0) out_of_band(0) hide_guide(1) service_type(2)
 source_id(1112)
 }}}

 Notice that the major channel is always 1008, and the minor channel is
 always 0. This confuses the scanner which assumes the channel numbers are
 unique.

 I've created a hack which will give you unique channel numbers, but you
 need to use "delete" for the existing channel treatment.

 Please, try this patch.

 Then send me the output of channel scan again and the output this from the
 database:
 {{{
 select
 chanid,channum,atscsrcid/256,atscsrcid%256,serviceid,networkid,transportid,frequency
 from channel,dtv_multiplex where channel.mplexid = dtv_multiplex.mplexid;
 }}}

 Also, please point out at least one channel you can't tune to after
 applying the patch.
