[mythtvnz] The Number of Sat Channels Available in New Zealand

[Noel & Di]

About 42 channels FTA at the moment. you'll need either a rotator, or 
multiple LNBs connected with a diseq switch. Rotator works out cheaper 
in the long run as it uses a single dish and LNB, but channel surfing 
between sats is slow as the rotator takes time to move.  The diseq 
switch gives faster inter-sat channel switching, but you need to use an 
LNB for each sat you want to view. (I had three 76 cm dishes, two of 
which had 2 LNbs on them for  my sat receiver.  Since then I've gone to 
MythTV & run a single 76cm dish on a rotator vith a Skystar2 card. I do 
the odd blind-scan using a MaxPlus receiver & plug the "unlisted" feeds 
into myth for things like sports events.  See 
http://www.satcodx5.com/eng/  or  http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html for 
info on what's up there.  There is more than just "Freeview" stuff.
