[mythtvnz] Freeview dish set-up woes

[Noel & Di]

Sounds like your meter is bung!! Normally you don't touch the adjustment 
on the back. You could use a known good receiver (be it FV or $ky or 
whatever) set it to a D1 transponder, turn the volume WAY up go outside 
& LISTEN for the audio as you move the dish... never mind the picture - 
that lags by a few seconds & will be hard to see anyways.  Dont forget 
the BFH if all else fails.
