Hi John,

I am currently trying to setup one channel.  I am using the parameters
that I found on the web, which is supposed to service Brisbane in
Australia.  (The Brisbane table in this thread if your interested
http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=52).  The problem I am
having is what goes where and what do all the names mean!

Channel Number - Do I just provide any number in here?  I.e. I a
setting up Network Ten, so can I just put the number 10 here?
Callsign - I have no idea.  1000 is in here at the moment, but I have
no idea where it came from.
XMLTV ID - Where do I find this?
The channel options for DVB I have pretty much entered from the web
page above.  Things like the constellation I have no idea of!
Provider, Transport and Network ID's - I have no clue.  The service ID
is in the table and I have the video and audio which I guess are the
important ones.

Sorry to be such a pain in the ass.  I am just mega keen to get this working.

Cheers,
Dave
