Also make sure your card is setup to be the correct type (DVB-T, etc) (I forget the table name, but there aren't many!).  Basically get the single card working and using contiguous entries in the channels DB.

Hi I moved to the dvb alpha patch by Kenneth, and on the way learned
that the diseqc stuff is not working - that was definitely making it
hard for channel changes... It was a bit misleading that the diseqc
field was in the db though.

I try to see if simple diseqc stuff is possible to put in, but in the
meanwhile I got the box working on DVB-T and channel changing at least
started to work now...

... and it seems it was all worth the configuration. :-)
