Not sure if I understand that, but just wanted to make sure you're
aware that you have to do a channel scan for _each_ frequency. So for
Aussie free-to-air, you'll need to do 5 lots of channel scans with a
different frequency each time. At the end of all that you will have
the channel info for all channels and should be able to watch them.
You may also, after that, need to update the XMLTVID in the channel
editor to match your tv_grab_au.

Regards,
Phill
