Thanks for the reply Steve - I had the DVB-T card on a separate source, it
was just that one channel that was not tuning.

After a full (tuned) scan on both DVB-S cards and manually inserting the
channels to odd numbers, I found I still had channels supposedly from the
DVB-S card(s) on channels 1, 2 and 3. I deleted them manually using the
Mythweb channel editor and then shifted the correct channel IDs into place
making sure I really did put 1910 as TV ONE so I can skip local adverts
rather than Auckland ones :-)

It all appears to be working now but of course time will tell... Nothing
in my normal schedule seems to want the extra tuners this week so I'll
have to experiment with recording some junk just to see what happens - I
can play with the LiveTV interaction as well then...

Cheers
