Does this mean you have BBC channels?

I cannot get by the Skipped transponder bit 
ie
506167: (time: 01:16) (time: 01:19) signal ok:
        QAM_AUTO f = 506167 kHz I999B8C999D999T999G999Y0
Info: NIT(actual) filter timeout
505833: skipped (already known transponder)
514000: skipped (already known transponder)
514167: skipped (already known transponder)
513833: skipped (already known transponder)
522000: (time: 01:35) 
522167: (time: 01:38) 
521833: (time: 01:41) (time: 01:44) signal ok:
        QAM_AUTO f = 521833 kHz I999B8C999D999T999G999Y0
Info: NIT(actual) filter timeout
530000: skipped (already known transponder)
530167: skipped (already known transponder)
529833: skipped (already known transponder)
which I think is the BBC Mux

I also get jumping from Cardon to Redruth even though I am only 1/4 mile
from the Tx..
