Thanks.

The datasheet dated Sep 8 2005, in a number of places, says the DVB-T IF 
is 36.13. In fact, various version of the datasheet say the same thing. 
You're telling me it's just plain wrong?

The 166.7 figure comes from the control bite matrix. I guess can be 
accounted for by a rounding issue in the sheet. Fair enough.

Bit 6, (P6) is not mentioned anywhere in the datasheet other than using 
the Philips example tool. I chose not to set the bit because it wasn't 
documented. Tuning clearly works with or without it.

Any comments on the upp/lower freqs of the bands?
