I will test the above sometime later, yet in the meantime I retrofitted
the cx24116 demod driver into v4l-dvb hg minus the multiproto/dvb-s2 support and it
functions. A bug was discovered which is probably the cause of the issue
detailed below.

There is a tarball for if you are interested, plus a scan output and kaffeine
channel config for Astra-28.2E at http://dev.kewl.org/tmp/hvr4000/

There is a bug in set_fec which sets the local FEC value
to the value retrieved from the FEC array in error.

A fix for that is here: http://dev.kewl.org/tmp/hvr4000/stoth/cx24116.diff

This ought to solve the tuning issue, yet as I have not tested the multiproto
work, I cannot say for certain.
