If you did a real upgrade (or at least preserved your database) 
you will have kept the old configurations.  I thought that you 
might have done a fresh install.

There is a UHF repeater in the inner eastern suburbs, but I don't 
think that will come into play in this case.  All of those are on 
channels 40 plus.  Both of you should have your antennas pointing 
to Mount Dandenong.

Watch the line wrap.

The Australian government does not count the same way as 
Mythtv.  The recently turned off analogue channel 7 was 
on channel 7.  The numbering must go like this...  

physical     Mythtv       Use
channel      channel
number       number

 6            5           digital ch7
 7            6           analogue ch7 (now off)
 8            7           digital ch9
 9            8           analogue ch9 (now off)
 9A           9           Australia only!  Not used in Melbourne.  
10           10           analogue ch10 (now off)
11           11           digital ch10
12            2           digital ch2

We also had channels 5A and zero, but they were retired years ago.
