Hi Barry,

I got the DVBS going last night. I have found the sound from the analog 
to be a bit fuzzy and the aspect ratio isn't right either. The DVBS 
works perfectly. It seems to have picked up multiple TV ONE, TV2 etc so 
I'm not sure how that's all going to pan out. Maybe I'll just remove 
them from the channel list...

To scan the channels I downloaded a dvb tool for tuning I think. I'll 
try post back how I did it. I had to compile it as I couldn't find a 
suitable RPM. I did that just to prove the concept. Then it worked out 
in mythtv-setup.

Cheers,
Julius.
