Hi Sub,
Just wanted to advise you that there are 2 issues with tuning TV channels on the ATI Theater 550 in New Zealand (PAL B)
1. The Tuning Assistant is not detecting all the working channels, and the displayed frequency is wrong. It appears this utility is simply a front-end to the automatic tuning capability of the 550 card so I'm guessing this is more of an issue with the card itself.
2. Entering manual frequencies into gbpvr in place of channel numbers only works for the vision but the nicam audio does not work.
My workaround is to install MediaPortal and manually define TV channels in that application, then use gbpvr Tuning Assistant which will then detect all the channels and nicam works. This obviously shows my bias towards gbpvr
