Hi Anthony

I have 3 tuners in my machine:

1. DNTV Live!
2. Tevion DVB-T220 (from Aldi) - basically a KWorld
3. Airstar 2 DVB

1 & 3 were from DigitalNow

And here is the SQL for my dtv_multiplex table. I get ABC, SBS, WIN, 
Prime & SC10.


INSERT INTO `dtv_multiplex` (`mplexid`, `sourceid`, `transportid`, 
`networkid`, `frequency`, `inversion`, `symbolrate`, `fec`, `polarity`, 
`modulation`, `bandwidth`, `lp_code_rate`, `transmission_mode`, 
`guard_interval`, `visible`, `constellation`, `hierarchy`, 
`hp_code_rate`, `sistandard`, `serviceversion`, `updatetimestamp`) VALUES
(1, 1, NULL, NULL, 690500000, 'a', 0, 'auto', 'v', 'auto', '7', 'auto', 
'8', '1/16', 0, 'qam_64', 'n', '3/4', 'mpeg', 33, '2008-01-02 13:17:02'),
(2, 1, NULL, NULL, 599500000, 'a', 0, 'auto', 'v', 'auto', '7', '3/4', 
'8', '1/16', 0, 'qam_64', 'n', '3/4', 'mpeg', 33, '2008-01-02 13:17:02'),

(4, 1, NULL, NULL, 592500000, 'a', 0, 'auto', 'v', 'auto', '7', '1/2', 
'8', '1/16', 0, 'qam_64', 'n', '3/4', 'mpeg', 33, '2008-01-02 13:17:02'),
(5, 1, NULL, NULL, 711625000, 'a', 0, 'auto', 'v', 'auto', '7', 'auto',

I had all sorts of problems when doing a scan inside Myth. It totally 
picked the wrong frequency for SBS that resulted in rubbish reception. 
This is from my old install back in June last year. All of these give me 
perfect pictures. I am in Riverstone (up by Windsor) and grab my signal 
from Wollongong as I mentioned before as there is too much in my way ro 
get North Sydney.
