Channel scanner doesn't storage bandwidth value for DVB-T transports

[cg@…]

When scanning for channels, the channel scanner fills an empty value for the bandwidth of a DVB-T transport.

Tuning to the transport fails in DTVMultiplex::ParseDVB_T at line 137. The log shows something like "Failed to initialize multiplex options".

Manually setting dtv_multiplex.bandwidth to 8 (8 MHz) fixes this.

During some testing of the current channel scanner in trunk for UK DVB-T, I could not reproduce this issue.

The bandwidth entries for multiplexes found via individual tuned scans were set to 'a', rather than '8' (although note the 'Unsupported bandwidth parameter' message during tuning. The one multiplex found during a Full Scan for the UK had its bandwidth value set to 8.

A subsequent tuned scan on anexisting multiplex entry having bandwidth set to 'a' did not have any issues detecting the mutliplex and programs carried on it (see log below). Tuning to a channel on the multiplex within LiveTV was also successful.

can't reproduce with current, probably fixed by one of the many channelscanner commits
