I didn't think my patch would have any effect for this tuner, but in this
case it did.  I'm glad it it was an improvement.

The tuner can only tune in steps of 1/6 MHz, so it can't get the exact
correct frequency.

For SBS @ 536625000 Hz, before 536500000 Hz after 536666667 Hz
For Nine @ 191625000 Hz, before 191500000 Hz after 191666667 Hz
For Ten @ 219500000 Hz, before 219500000 Hz after same frequency

For the two channels that now work better, the tuner used to be tuning to a
frequency 125 kHz too low, after my patch it's tuning to a frequency
41 1/6th kHz too high.

The one channel that doesn't work should be tuning the same frequency as it
did before the patch.  I wonder if that frequency or something else is
wrong?  I don't suppose the information on http://www.dba.org.au/ is any
different that what you've been trying?

I've seen other reports from people with multiple cards that one card gets
better reception than the other.
