Thanks Steve,

I've just had another go (one of the rare gaps in the recording 
schedule) and I still end up with Animal Planet, CNN etc.  Looking at 
http://hairy.geek.nz/epg/service-ids.txt it appears that the card is 
only getting frequency=12707000.   Playing with the frequency in the 
transport editor resulted in either getting no channels found or the 
Animal Planet group.

Switching back to the terminal I spotted an error saying that the 
frequency was out of range (min/max 950000/2150000) when it 
successfully found the Animal Planet group, or no error when it found 
nothing.

So that makes me think that I have a problem with either the Card 
setup or the Input setup.

What have you got set for LNB LOF switch / High / Low?
