Hmm.. Good point the mythtv.co.nz multiplex page needs updating.

Prime is on the Kordia Mux on DTT = Mux 3

Mux 1 = TVNZ
Mux 2 = Mediaworks
Mux 3 = Kordia

On DTH Mediaworks and Prime are all on the Kordia mux.

I'm currently running

1 x DTH tuner
2 x DTT Tuner
1 x Analogue tuner

The other night I was really surprised to see some stuff bumped to the
analogue tuner.
