As I mentioned in another thread, 12483 does work properly but has
different service pids to what it used to have. Right now 12483 has
One, 2, Maori TV, Bloomberg, DW-TV, CCTV, and another channel that I
suspect is TVNZ's wide test.

But those channels aren't setup properly by mythtv-setup. What I've
found is that rescanning 12483 results in the right channels with the
right service pids, but with the wrong mplexid - it's putting the
channels on the mplexid for 12456. Oh, and the wide test channel on
pid 1904 isn't detected at all by the scan, at least on my system. I
don't know anything about mythtv's DVB scanning code, but I suspect
that TVNZ has something misconfigured. If I manually correct the
mplexid in the database and add 1904 all those channels work fine.

Incidentally I don't have any problems scanning 12483 using MythTV
0.19 on Gentoo using a SkyStar2. Apart from the above issues with the
results.
