Maybe they monitor the signal quality from a thread and increase charge 
pump only if necessary, always(?) starting with (6>>1). After locking, 
does the bandwidth bit stay at the same value for a given channel on all 
attempts, i.e., it's not sometimes zero sometimes one.

I tried the bandwidth bit inversion with Linux, but I see no difference 
in behaviour. Tuner locks just as well with both settings and the signal 
qualities are essentially the same.

Can you also see what happens at the demodulator chip on XP? Btw., I 
take it the stv0297 specs aren't available anywhere(?)
