   You may find that you are getting multiple BBCs from different 
transmitters, and Myth has locked onto the weaker ones.  I think I'd extent 
there to then be multiple entries for those channels in your d/b. though. 
Maybe you're missing then near the bottom, and they've had their 
disabled/non-favourite/whatever flag¹ set?

   Have a google in the Net (and this mailing list archive for recent posts) 
for examples running 'tzap' with a specific emitter that you know you're 
getting a decent signal from.  It may then be worth your while “re-scanning” 
from that tzap's output channels.conf file (it's an option in mythtv-setup 
to import the conf file and not actually scan) to guarantee which channels 
you're getting.

   There was mention of some other (KDE?) basic app. (kaffeine) that can 
view DVB channels, so you may want to see what that makes of BBC.
