The TVWorks mux has some very odd settings at the moment which might explain your issues.

I am now using Cyberlink with GB-PVR and am getting good results with the Kordia and Mediaworks channels.

But I can't get the TVNZ channels to tune in. I created a DVB-t config and it seems to scan 538MHz but finds nothing: 

 [TERTYPE]
1=New Zealand
2=All Channels

[DVB]
;Position = Channelname,Frequency(KHz),Inversion(0,1),0,Bandwidth (7MHz=1, 8MHz=2)
0=3
1=C20,538000,0,0,8
2=C7,570000,0,0,8
3=C8,666000,0,0,8

Can someone show me the error of my ways please?

In Wellington the TVNZ MUX is 'hidden' (not transmitting any NIT tables) so GB-PVR can't pick it up, I am guessing the same may be occuring in Auckland. DVBViewer picks up the signal OK.

So will I be able to pick up the Freeview HD DTT transmissions with a Sky UHF only aerial that I have already on my roof doing nothing?

Yes - Providing it's aimed at a a site that is/will be broadcasting a DVB-T signal.

My mate who has a cardbus dvb-t/analog on his laptop gets a lock with nothing plugged in at all, and thats only enough to deliver a bad snowey picture on triangle with occasional colour and not much better on trackside or prime.

Thing is his laptop is way underspec to do h264 and I havent seen any expresscard dvb-t tuners available yet to use in decent newer laptops...

The TVNZ MUX has been hidden here in Wellington for some time. Unfortunately GB-PVR is unable to pick it up.

GB-PVR isnt finding the channels due to the change of audio stream type to AAC (which the current version doesnt handle). I can supply you a patch that will find all the channels during a channel scan, but it will only give you squeeks and pops for audio. I'm working on resolving this.

sub has posted the patch on the GB-PVR forums here 

This will now allow you to pick up all the MUX's again but there is currently no audio on all channels.

thanks for the patch sub, i noticed the sound has disappeared on tv3 and c4 again. I was wondering why aree the TV networks using AAC audio instead of AC3 it would make more sense especially for people with surround receivers.
