Initial scan table for au-Melbourne-Selby

Initial scan table for au-Melbourne-Selby

Hi, please find attached a scan table for au-Melbourne-Selby. This file 
is very similar to the scan table file for au-Melbourne-Upwey (which I 
was able to use until quite recently). However the fec_hi value of "2/3" 
for SBS no longer works for me, and I need to use "AUTO" instead. I 
don't know if this change also affects the Upwey repeater.

Details on the geographic locations of these repeaters can be found here:
Upwey: http://www20.sbs.com.au/transmissions/index.php?pid=2&id=795
Selby: http://www20.sbs.com.au/transmissions/index.php?pid=2&id=792

Note that the Selby repeater actually covers the parts of Upwey which 
are not able to get signal from the Upwey repeater, due to hilly 
terrain. Although they use identical frequencies, the polarisation is 
different.

I assume AUTO allows the DVB tuner to choose one of the FEC types 
dynamically, though I don't know if this is supported by all tuners. If 
there's a way I can find out which actual fec_hi is in use, please let 
me know and I will supply it.

I have provided a brief write-up at 
http://pyarra.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/mythtv-and-sbs-in-dandenong-ranges.html 
- please let me know if there is further information I can provide.

Regards,
Philip.

I think that makes sense to have the two transmitters seperated then.
