My apologies ... I've spent so long in the debugger I've come to think
of myself as a developer, not a user :-)

It does work, as you say.  And I now have 36 channels.  I found though
that I still have the same problem that got me going down this road,
which is that the backend complains it doesn't have any PIDs.  But with
some more digging, I've found that that seems to be because the
dvb_pids table is empty.

I added the PIDs for ITV1 (which is the default channel 3) directly
using MySQL and I was able to watch this station.  Which leads me to
two questions:

1.  Am I doing something wrong that the PIDS table is not being filled
in automatically when scanning? (the PIDs are returned in dvbscan)

2.  It used to be possible (on the older versions) to type in the PIDs
- I thought in setup - but this doesn't seem to be an option anymore. 
Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help

Gareth.
