[mythtvnz] Hello! And DVB-S woes...

When you aimed the dish with the satfinder did you turn it down and tighten 
the aim to get the highest reading possible?  As i said before you really 
need something more than a command to the card you've got to get your hands 
on a receiver already with the channels etc in it to make you life a lot 
easier.
