[mythtvnz] Hi & mplayer works but mythtv gives static?

[Simon Third]

Thanks, guys, again,
Now I have TV.  The channel number on page 2 thing got me.

This thing is fantastic, well worth the effort. Oh, and the remote works
also.

:-)

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
