[mythtvnz] tuning problems

[Duncan Kennington]

I never figured out how to get Myth to tune it.  I use an external script
which basically contains the following line:

/usr/local/bin/ivtv-tune -d /dev/video0 -t newzealand -c $1 

And myth supplies $1 as the FREQID from the channel table:

One		1
Two 		5
Three	11
C4		2
Prime	60
Maori TV	44

These are frequencies off Kaukau.  In other areas they are different, but
you get the idea (I hope!)

Thanks all - but the tuner card works fine.  My poorly explained problem was
"how to I tell Mythtvbackend that TV3 is on frequency 123.4 MHz"

The configuration for mythtv-setup is what I'm talking about.  I can tune
the card to a given frequency then cat /dev/video > file to produce a mpeg
of that channel.
