Maybe your uk-CrystalPalace is old. There's something called w_scan which really does scan. Try distro install or searching for it. I don't use and haven't updated the dvb5 tools for ages. Looking back at experiments it seems I have T rather than T2 in my tuning files. Maybe that's something to keep in mind, also IIRC for T2 channels you do need each frequency (unlike the Ts whose details are found by tuning to any channel). I don't know your setup or requirements, but using players to tune/record will avoid the "-p" issue. I run headless and use tvheadend. If I had an HTPC setup I would probably use kodi (xbmc).
