Note that in setup, the channel number that the PVR card uses is nothing
to do with the channel number you type. The tuner frequency number is on
the second of the 2 pages for each channel (very confusing). I use channel
number 1... for the Sky channels I get on the svideo input from my Sky box
and the tuner inputs I prefix by 99 so I know they are different!! The
'tuner' channel numbers for Christchurch are as below.
Station My channel number Tuner channel number
One 991 3
2 992 8
3 993 6
C4 994 11
Prime 996 62
Trackside 997 58
