As well it should. It appears that the Ubuntu/Debian manpage for dvbtune is 
wrong (I'll be reporting the bug shortly).

I was just looking through the source and the correct option to set the tone 
is -tone, not -t

When I call it like so; `dvbtune -tone 0 -f 1921000 -s 22500 -p v -m` then it 
works correctly and doesn't mess with the Sky box.

So it would seem that you are right on the money about my problem, although 
I'm stumped as to why it occurred suddenly without me touching the settings.

Now I just need to figure out the options in MythTV and I'll be sorted again.

Cheers,
