Aha, that would explain it then :)

I believe when I was looking at that stuff that someone mentioned that certain 
of the older SU1278 tinboxes had a different PLL (a TUA6100, whereas newer 
ones have a TSA5059) in them! There's no way to tell really from the markings 
on it (there may be a date code I suppose, but who knows when they switched 
over).

How recent is your card? Maybe they've switched yet again...

I'll add in your details to the hardware database.. However, I don't really 
want to complicate the stv0299 code any more until we've reorganised 
everything.

Are there any error messages reported BTW? Or is it just that tuning does not 
work at all.
