OK, bit more digging and searching and I tried to use dvbstream like so...

dvbstream -qam 64 -cr 3_4 -gi 16 -bw 7 -tm 8 -f 191625 -ps -o 513 660 >

This gave me a file with both video and audio for Channel 7 so it looks
like it might be just some sort of tuning issue.

The scan output when tuned to ABC gives this...

I can also dump video+audio using

dvbstream -qam 64 -cr 3_4 -gi 16 -bw 7 -tm 8 -f 226500 -ps -n 10 -o 2309
2310 > test2.mpg

How does mythtv decide what PIDs to use when recording ?

Thanks,
