Have you already got an ex-sky dish on your house, or are going to be getting one of those too?

I keep getting letters from then saying only $49 to reconnect since we notice you have an existing dish...

In addition to the Freeview channels there is also a decent Australian channel called 'SCTV Central' that you'll be able to tune in, which carries alot of the Australian channel Seven shows. http://www.mytalk.com.au/newdesign/pages...gionId=312

Update C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\BDA\DVB-S\1602.ini to have the following, then it'll be picked up on the next scan.

Sub, presumably if you are sharing a sat dish with a SKY STB then you will not be able to receive the 12637 V transponder because the STB will be controlling the polarisation of the dish (i.e. the STB will have the dish in H polarisation). So to receive V polarisation you would need to shut down the SKY STB.
Do I have that right? Cheers Mike
