So it was a lucky calc error that got the sky feed working.  I thought my
LNB was a 11300 and I was absolutely certain I had had it working using this
offset.  I had intended to use 11300 instead of 11500 when doing the sky
multiplex test.  Obviously I was wrong!!!!

Using 1371000 gets me a signal lock using dvbtune.  Thanks for pointing out
my mistake.

PS.  The LNB is old and you can't read the markings on it.

What's your LNBs offset? Mine's a standard Sky one with 11300MHz so Sky's
12671MHz multiplex becomes 1371MHz. If the above command worked for you then
that would make your LNB offset 11500MHz in which case the frequency you
used for the TVNZ multiplex is wrong. 

Cheers,
Steve
