Scanning satellites in Myth is a painful, error prone process. A couple of handy programs to help you circumvent myth's pain are:
myth_scanner: This program will grab all of the transponder info for the entire satellite, and populate the Myth channel & transponder database. All you need is to be tuned to any TP on that sat (using szap for example). You can find the most recent copy somewhere on www.happysat.org
modchannel.sh: This program will bulk rename/renumber/change EIT/change visible/delete channels/etc. Very handy if you have to rescan a sat often. Available at GenerationD
