[mythtv-users] Scanned DVB channels - what now?

I've been installing a KWorld Vstream Xpert PCI DVB card and am making
some good progress. I feel like I'm almost there. I've done some
channel scans and am confused about what to do now.

After the channel scans (I'm in Sydney, Australia) I have these channels listed:

7 Digital, 7 Digital 1, 7 Digital 2, 7 Digital 3, 7 Digital Guide, 7
HD Digital, ABC HDTV, ABC TV, ABC TV Sydney, ABC2, Nine Digital, Nine
Guide, Nine HD, SBS Digital 1, SBS Digital 2, SBS EPG, SBS HD. (For
some reason the scan for channel 10 failed so I'll worry about that
later).

Here's the questions: 
1) How come there are all these channels and not just 1 for each
broadcaster like with analogue? Which ones do I use in MythTV?

2) What do I need to do now to actually _see_ one of these channels in
LiveTV? When I go into LiveTV I see a blank screen for about 5 seconds
and then it goes back to the menu. Could this be because I don't have
the right start number for the initial LiveTV channel entered? If so,
where do I get that number?

3) THe most concerning thing is that when I go into view recordings I
get a blue theme background but no text/lists of recordings etc and
the machine freezes totally - no remote control, no keyboard, all I
can do is press reset. Why is that? Could it be because I haven't
entered the XMLTVID against each channel?

Thanks,
Phill
