This is exactly it! If you add 167k to 489833333 you get basically
490000000 which is the frequency that works with this card! [See my
mail, subject "Tuning problems: Freecom card with USB ID 14aa:0226" on
10/10/06 17:19 (it has USB ID 14aa:0225 when cold)]

So how would I go about doing this manually? Because when I scan, the
frequencies of the other transponders are not accepted... Could it not
be added in the driver? Automatically add 167k to every frequency
received if a certain modprobe flag is on? I want it to work with my
current MythTV setup, which has 2 DVB-T devices already, I don't want to
have to add more transponders and get MythTV confused over which
channels are the same or different...


Just a guess, it's probably going this because Microsofts MCE doesn't like transport being returned on multiple offsets from the carrier, they prefer locking on center (even though they continue to search both sides even if the center locked with transport).

I heard about this...

Typically vendors fake this out to satisfy MCE in the driver. Maybe this was done in the hardware instead... switching off the range/search lock capability. Perhaps it's driven by the eeprom.

Which demodulator is it using?

If we talk about the tda10046, it is only able to lock on the offset with
support of the driver. I know how this can be done but - at least for me -
this is a significant amount of work: The tuning algorithm needs to
run in a kernel thread - very similar to the sound standard search for
the saa7134. But maybe somebody can write the skeleton for me...
