My DVB-S box is running a SVN trunk revision from not long ago. For
movies4men/movies4men2, here is my multiplex entry (ignore
mplexid/sourceid):

          mplexid: 146
         sourceid: 5
      transportid: 2312
        networkid: 2
        frequency: 11223670
        inversion: a
       symbolrate: 27500000
              fec: 2/3
         polarity: v
       modulation: qpsk
        bandwidth: NULL
     lp_code_rate: NULL
transmission_mode: NULL
   guard_interval: NULL
          visible: 0
    constellation: NULL
        hierarchy: NULL
     hp_code_rate: NULL
modulation_system: 1
         roll_off: NULL
       sistandard: dvb
   serviceversion: 3

The 2 channels themselves are configured to receive the onairguide.
Similarly with Zone Thriller:

          mplexid: 172
         sourceid: 5
      transportid: 2602
        networkid: 2
        frequency: 12560020
        inversion: a
       symbolrate: 27500000
              fec: 2/3
         polarity: v
       modulation: qpsk
        bandwidth: NULL
     lp_code_rate: NULL
transmission_mode: NULL
   guard_interval: NULL
          visible: 0
    constellation: NULL
        hierarchy: NULL
     hp_code_rate: NULL
modulation_system: 1
         roll_off: NULL
       sistandard: dvb
   serviceversion: 13
  updatetimestamp: 2008-11-23 01:23:14

Note that I only have UK Freesat channels visible on my DVB-S source -
I'd guess this might mean listings should appear quicker as the EIT
scanner is not looking for listings on the muxes of the many other FTA
channels on the DVB-S source.

Cheers,
Nick
