[mythtvnz] VisionPlus 1020A DVB-S experiences.

[Sam Hadley-Jones]

I bought a VisionPlus 1020A DVB-S card off trademe which arrived
yesterday. My stock debian 2.6.16-2-486 kernel detected and loaded
everything except dvb_bt8xx. I've got the old style Sky LNB (11.3GHz
LOF) which works fine. Thanks to whoever wrote the DVB-S howto on
pvr.geek.nz very helpful. I was stoked when I simply pasted the
dvbstream/mplayer command and up popped tv one in widescreen! Looks
really nice (except for the poor job mplayer does with de-interlacing).

However, all other tuning/scan doesn't work - either from the command
line or from mythtv. This is what happens with dvbtune:

mythbox:~$ dvbtune -f 1183000 -s 22500 -p v -m

...and so on...

For a quick and easy solution, could someone please send me a valid
channels.conf for Optus-B1?

Cheers!
