There is a really good dguide here
http://support.openmedia.co.nz/mypvr/support/how-to-set-up-a-dvb-s-card-for-freeview-dth/
and here http://support.openmedia.co.nz/mypvr/support/how-to-set-up-freeview-dth-channels/

These are obviously geared to the NZ freeview sat, so you will need to
adjust your frequencies, polarisation and symbol rates, as well as LNB
settings, but it does give a nice step by step approach with
screenshots! You should also look for people in your geographical area
who are on the same sat for advice.

Also with 0.21 you now have multirec, but that shouldn't make too much
difference.

I hope it is helpful.
