I agree with the off-topic-ness, but I must add this:

These different settings have worked for months.. but when I recently
re-investigated the DVB stuff, I found that the muxes I can get
(everything except SDN for Channel 5 / QVC, etc.) no longer care what I
set -qam and -cr to....

I even tried 'dvbstream -f 754167 -qam 128 -cr 5_6 -o -ps 600 601 |
mplayer - -nocache' and watched 60 seconds of perfect quality BBC1...

Same thing when I tried the ITV mux... I really don't understand it :)

Anyway, yes - offlist, etc.
