[mythtvnz] Second Skystar cannot get lock on TV3 transponder

[Barry Clearwater]

I had exactly the same problem over the weekend after installing a new
card. Multiplex on Vertical rather than horizontal.
Is this a bug?  Is it something to do with the cards swapping the order
on reboot?
Openbox desktop on my machine is starting up mythtv just nicely but if I
switch back to it with some os or other tasks in mind, I find I have
micro tiny fonts.  Pointers to where to adjust this?

Regards
Barry
