[mythtvnz] TeVii S421

[Austin]

My thanks to Jim and Stephen for the channels.conf files.

The S421 is now working heaps better; the main obstacle to progress seemed to 
be multiple (12 in fact) entries in the database for cards all claiming to be 
/dev/usb/adapter0/frontend0, despite my having deleted them in mythtv-setup. 
Once I cleaned them out for real, using SQL, it sprang into life.

Or mostly!  The 12483 stations all work, the 12456 ones will not lock.  On my 
set-top satellite receiver both groups work fine, and show solid 72% signal 
strength and 98% s/n.  To get to the S421 the signal goes through another 20 
metres or so of cable, with 2 joints in it.  Is that likely to cause sufficient 
loss to give problems on one frequency but not on the other?

Sample szap outputs:

$ szap -l 11300 -n 1
reading channels from file '/home/austin/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 1 'TV ONE;Television New Zealand':
sat 0, frequency = 12483 MHz H, symbolrate 22500000, vpid = 0x0203, apid = 
0x028d sid = 0x0243
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
