Umm you can't get B1 and B3 off the same LNB.  If you want C1 and or B3 you 
can't use the Sky dish as it's pointing to B1.  Mine is pointing to C1 with 
the LNB's for B3 and B1 to the right and left of C1. Not many of the other 
Free To Air channels have EIT data other than their channel name.  One 
problem I found was two different transponders having different channels but 
having the same SID, this confuses myth somewhat so I'm renumbering them...

I'm running Gentoo and yesterday done the upgrade and all's well so far, 
although I have not rebooted my machine yet...
