Two things I'll point out to help you:<br> <br>SBS 3 and SBS4 are just rebroadcasts of SBS One. The only HD content that SBS One HD has ever shown in the Ashes cricket. Everything else is just upscaled from the SD channel (including all local content).<br><br>SBS broadcast in the vertical polarity, while Freeview and Sky Digital are horizontal. This means that you won't be able to use the same dish to watch SBS and a NZ satellite channel at the same time.<br><br></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>If you have a dual output LNB you can watch both at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>Reasonably easy to set-up</div><div><br></div><div>I advise creating an additional video source and assigning it to a fake diseqc entry for your DVB-S card so you can play with the various EPG sources.</div><div><br></div><div>Using the following screen shot as a sample for how to perform the scan xbut change the following options</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://support.mypvr.co.nz/mypvr/images/screen_capture/dvb/mythtv_channel_scan_dth.jpg">http://support.mypvr.co.nz/mypvr/images/screen_capture/dvb/mythtv_channel_scan_dth.jpg</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Video Source = Australia</div><div>Frequency = 12646000</div><div>Polarity = Vertical</div><div>SR = 12600000</div><div>FEC = Auto</div><div>Inversion = Auto</div><div><br></div><div>SBS HD is 720p MPEG2 with MP2 audio so just works</div><div>SBS 1 is an SD duplicate of SBS HD</div><div>SBS 2 has other material</div><div>SBS 3-4 are place holders</div><div>Plus you have two SBS radio stations</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone wants to play with mplayer here is a channels.conf file</div><div><br></div><div><div>SBS ONE:12646:v:0:12600:161:81:897</div><div>SBS TWO:12646:v:0:12600:162:83:898</div><div>SBS 3:12646:v:0:12600:161:81:899</div><div>SBS 4:12646:v:0:12600:161:81:900</div><div>SBS HD:12646:v:0:12600:102:103:901</div><div>SBS Radio 1:12646:v:0:12600:0:201:910</div><div>SBS Radio 2:12646:v:0:12600:0:202:911</div><div><br></div><div>I'm getting this on a Toroidal T90 in Auckland and the signal strength is way above freeview.</div><div><br></div><div>You could use EIT for program information but at the moment I"m using Shepherd.
