Hi JD

I have the same card as you, also in the UK, but Hemel Hempstead transmitted 
instead. I'm using linux 2.6.0 with latest dvb drivers:

buffy% dvbtune -f 842000000 
Using DVB card "Philips TDA10045H"
tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 842000000 Hz
polling....
Getting frontend event
FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_LOCK FE_HAS_CARRIER FE_HAS_VITERBI FE_HAS_SYNC
Event:  Frequency: 852600000
        SymbolRate: 0
        FEC_inner:  3

Bit error rate: 105422
Signal strength: 54998
SNR: 61166
FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL FE_HAS_LOCK FE_HAS_CARRIER FE_HAS_VITERBI FE_HAS_SYNC

Which looks fine to me (in that it's not an EINVAL, Hemelhempstead doesn't 
transmit on 67 I think).

Cheers

John
