I have three Hauppauge DVB-S2 cards

I tried editing the mythconverg.channelscan_dtv_multiplex this morning using
the data from the blog link provided above:

Satellite: Astra 2D tp.50
Frequency: 10,847MHz (vertical polarity)
Modulation: DVB-S2, QPSK
Symbol Rate: 23.0
FEC: 8/9

However that didn't work.  Tried using the table mythconverg.dtv_multiplex
instead (which appears to be the "master" data, rather what was found from
the channel scans), changing the following for mplexid = 127:
symbolrate: 23000000
fec: 8/9
mod_sys: DVB-S2

restarted the backend and BBC HD/ BBC ONE HD started working.

I have a Hauppauge DVB-S2 using
/var/log/messages.1:Jun  5 23:24:51 marge kernel: [   40.069840]
cx24116_load_firmware: FW version 1.26.90.0

Hope this helps

Rob
