BTW - I'm not the OP.. I'm the OP for the other thread on a similar topic but I
was getting strange channum information as opposed to nothing being picked up at
all. 

my transport wasn't good. ..

I rescanned, SBS came good, but channel 9 is picking up the same things (chan
1072,1073 and 1074).. I tried editing the transport as per above (I guessed), but
that was even worse as it didn't pick up anything at all... (i.e. defaults to
19150000 changed it to 191625000.. 

The only thing I can think of now is that when I changed it to 1916250000 I also
set the other values as per http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/MythTV instead of
leaving them at auto.. 

I did however delete the connections and rescan from scratch.. 

I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and pick up an  hd home run.. but I guess
that could suffer the same problems!!
