Haupage Nova-T 500 Channel Scanning

The transmitter for an SW1 postcode is Crystal Palace, therefore channel scanning can be performed with

[mythtv@hf02 ~]$ scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace > /home/mythtv/.mplayer/channels.conf

I then fed this file into MythTV Channel scanning tool using the option "Provided Channels.conf"
