The way you tune ATSC (terrestrial or cable) now is by setting modulation
from:
struct dvb_vsb_parameters {
fe_modulation_t modulation; /* modulation type (see above) */
};
For terrestrial you set it to VSB_8, for cable you set it to QAM_256.
Most frontends now days can do both, some older frontends can only do 8/VSB.
I think changing struct dvb_vsb_parameters to dvb_atsc_parameters makes a lot
of sense. Now you have this:
fe_params.u.qam.modulation = QAM_256; // Wrong!
fe_params.u.vsb.modulation = QAM_256 // Right!
That's just messed up.
