Errors in data sheets seem to be quite common, I only trust
tested code. Steve, if you can check Philips reference code
or Hauppauge Windoze driver code, this would be a more
reliable source for these numbers...

Would should the "initialize" and "deinitialize" functions do?
I thought the PLL is used by both the analog and digital
demodulators, so all you do with the PLL when switching
between analog and digital is writing the new config
via i2c?
