Thanks for the help, I believe I've now found the solution. In my
multiplex database it had the freq for the problem channel as 698000000
(got from a full scan on the working dvb card), however the true
frequency should be 698166670, updating this manually in the database
seems to have resolved it for the problem dvb card. Strange that it
still worked on one dvb card and not the other, but I guess thats just a
hardware thing,
Jon
