I use mythtv 0.17 and it works fine, presumably it should also work in
0.18. The units I use are as follows:
- Frequency is in Khz, so for eg 10773MHz is entered as 10773000
- Symbol rate in kSym/sec, so 27500 is entered as 27500000
These work very well for me on three different satellites.

I don't think you can manually specify DVB options - you have to use the
automatic scanning utilities.
