[mythtvnz] Further 150 stuff

I've gotten tired of not having TV 3, so I had another crack at the 150. 
I'm starting to seriously wonder now HOW on earth people manage to set 
these things up to coexist with DVB-S cards at all. The 150 is set to the 
same source as the DVB cards, which is the EPG grabbed by tv_grab_dvb. I've 
set the ranking for the 150 to -10, and the DVB's to +10.

The channel table is as follows, in comma-delimited format:

"chanid",,,"channum",,,"freqid","sourceid","callsign","name","icon","finetune","videofilters","xmltvid","recpriority","contrast","brightness","colour","hue","tvformat","commfree","visible","outputfilters","useonairguide","mplexid","serviceid","atscsrcid"
2025,,,1025,,,,1,"Maori TV","Maori 
TV",,,,"1025.dvb.guide",0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,10,1025,0
2035,,,1035,,,,1,"TV One","TV

2036,,,1036,,,,1,"TV 2","TV 
2",,,,"1036.dvb.guide",0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,10,1036,0
2904,,,,,,,1,"MAOTV","Maori TV (0x0401) 
01",,,,"0.dvb.guide",0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,,0,0
1006,,,1033,,,196250,1,"TV 3","TV 
3","none",,,"1033.dvb.guide",0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,,,
1001,,,2,,,55250,1,"Channel 2","Channel 
2","none",,,,0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,,,
1003,,,4,,,175250,1,"Channel 4","Channel 
4","none",,,,0,32768,32768,32768,32768,"Default",0,1,,0,,,

I'm not entirely sure what "MAOTV" is, but I'm not game enough to delete it 
since it goes by this "0.dvb.guide". TV One, 2, and Maori TV are all DVB 
channels. If I use this table, trying to view the DVB channels results in 
static from the tuner for some reason known only to God. Switching cards 
with 'y' results in the DVB signal, but I'm not sure that this would work 
with recordings. TV3, pure 150, works nice (if with somewhat fuzzy 
reception) with a working EPG, but nothing else does. Not even "Channel 2" 
or "Channel 4".

Can someone PLEASE tell me where I'm going wrong with this? I don't want to 
try TV1 and 2 on the tuner yet, I just want to get TV 3 going! One channel 
at a time... as it is, I can't WAIT for Freeview. I may even desire a third 
tuner, if this 18 channel business has good enough programming.

(As a side note, getting the table out of Webmin in a non-HTML display was 
highly annoying, involving editing the html, loading it into OpenOffice, 
saving as CSV, editing, and loading again. I know no SQL language.)
