[mythtvnz] Scanning DVB-S and DVB-T from scratch

[Jason Taylor]

Well you can just scan existing transponders its quite straight forward

I usually then switch to mythweb to update the xmltv,channel numbers, names
settings etc as its a nice table there..

For sky I add 100  to the channel number ie sky sport is 130, I also only
add the channels Ill record off...

There are regional channels on DVB-T and stratos at least is on DVB-S check

You can also get SBS from Australia on DVB-S but there is issues with
polarity (its vertical and all nz are horizontal)

Cheers
