Is your scanning working properly under V1.1.0 s/w?
Mine goes through the motions. Frequencies are stepped through, bargraphs light when signals are found but no tv or radio idents appear in the respective panels, and no data is saved.
If I reload my previous channel data all channels are shown and selectable (by up/down rc buttons) but no channel numbers, just 0000.
I've experimented a bit and now assume there are two numbering systems in the v1.1.0 s/w, whereas in the previous sw there was just one. The 'freesat' system has fixed numbers 0101-09xx and the 'all channels' has the usual dynamic number system.
If you rescan 28.2E on the 'freesat' system (checking that the options are set to 'tv+radio' and 'free+cas', rather than the default 'tv' and 'free') new channels will be added prefixed 5xxx in both the tv and radio lists. These remain fixed numbers, so if you move any of the channels in the lists the number remains the same irrespective of position.
Any previously saved channel data lists don't have these fixed numbers so a default 0000 is used and they can be selected by up/down buttons, alphabet filter etc. but not by numberpad. Only new channels scanned in this 'freesat' mode can be selected by numberpad.
The P+ seems to default scan 'add new channels' so doesn't display any existing channels during a scan, and/or could then be confused by all channels numbered as 0000.
An initial scan of 28.2E in 'all channels' mode finds ITV HD but selecting 'default' has only BBC HD.
