I found the information. From http://pvr.geek.nz/w/index.php/DVB-S_Setup

Its a Dual LNB to the 2 Sat's with the offset of both 10.75 GHz which switch 
with a tone

TVNZ -> 12.483GHz (-10.75 GHz LNB)     =     1733 MHz
CanWest -> 12.456 GHz  (10.75 GHz LNB) =    1706 MHz

Which both work with dvbtune

But I still can't get mythtv-setup to Tune in. :-( I prob have the DiSEqC 
settings wrong? anyone help with the Sky Dual LNB)?

How would I manually enter the Freq in mythtv without it having to tune in? 
Does anyone have a channels.conf? for all the NZ available channels?

strangely I can't use (the -m flag)

dvbtune -f 1733000 -s 22500 -p h -m with the Nova-S Plus card.. :-(
(my previous email said 1173. but it should of been 1733 (typo before))

but -x and -pnr work

Thanks
