This is because many modern tuners will compensate with AGC an offset like this. If you point them 125000 Hz wrong they will auto-correct to the correct frequency.


        Cool, I hadn't realised that, Rudy.

        That also means that the scanning code must be grabbing
the scanned frequency _back_ from the frontend!
(i.e. mythtv-setup says "try 191625000", frontend locks,
      fine tunes to 191666000, and mythtv-setup reads
      and stores that value in the database)
Of course, the other possibility us that there are integer
math rounding errors in the frontend driver code :-)


I will have try now with my older cards, to see what they do.
