Ben,
Thanks. It's progressing now, hopefully all will be well when I finish the scan. I put in the figures you suggested, but had to explicitly set the FEC and Polarisation also.
Cheers again!

Hi All
I have installed MythTV 0.18 on my gentoo system. My DVB-S card is a Technisat SkyStar 2 which has been verified working with linux dvb tools.
It is detected by MythTV but I am unable to scan for channels. It is unclear what units to use for the frequency and symbol rate - I have tried various combinations of Hz kHz and MHz with no effect. I just get Tuning - no lock until it times out.
I use mythtv 0.17 and it works fine, presumably it should also work in 0.18. The units I use are as follows:
- Frequency is in Khz, so for eg 10773MHz is entered as 10773000 - Symbol rate in kSym/sec, so 27500 is entered as 27500000
These work very well for me on three different satellites.
If I try and configure channels manually, using the channel editor, I get no options regarding DVB stuff - I enter the channel number (is this number important?) and the name, and the video source. Pressing next however gives me Video 4 Linux options like frequency ID which doesn't seem relevant at all.
I don't think you can manually specify DVB options - you have to use the
automatic scanning utilities.
