[mythtvnz] DVB-T signal strength

[Guy Gibson]

Im geting around 57% signal strength and it doesn't seam to be giving  
problems, mine all seam to be related to VDPAU and interlaces etc, i.e  
no block etc on TV1 & @ before hand, now pans etc make it look like a  
box of lego,   Thats with LNB amp turned on as well.
