Robin - I don't use 'freesat' per se - but rather been capturing TV and
radio from DVB-S from Astra 28.2E ala Sky for a while now.

My BBC Radio 1-4, Virgin 105.8, etc all work perfectly with Myth from
DVB-S.  I notice that it takes a fraction longer to lock than with the TV
signals - (maybe 3 seconds instead of 1.5-2), but they work great.  I just
did a channel scan from Myth using the frequencies, etc that I got from
Lyngsat.
