Hmm, just noticed something odd in the driver - 
linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/mt352.c/mt352_set_parameters()

line 283, it says:

	buf[3] = 0x50;  // old
//	buf[3] = 0xf4;  // pinnacle

Wanna try swapping those over and see if it does anything? I'll find out what 
thats actually doing in the meantime.
