Just remove the backslash. You don't need they.

The original code has this, but bs will be zero for a frequency between 154
MHz to 161 Mhz as welll as 439-447 MHz.  Probably wrong.  My guess is the
data sheet says, "low band 48 to 154 MHz, mid band 161 MHz to 439 MHz,
etc.," where 154 is the frequency of the last channel in the low band and
161 is the first channel in the mid band.  Then someone translated this to
code without really understanding what's going on.  It should probably be:

	if      (params->frequency > 443000000) bs = 0x08;
	else if (params->frequency > 157500000) bs = 0x0a;
	else					bs = 0x09;

The tuner's limits should already be enforced elsewhere.  Or just convert
this to use dvb_pll.

Thanks for pointing this out, can you please provide a patch for that? Preferably for the dvb_pll-solution?

There seems only to be a handful of users which are really knowing that they are using this card and this driver to receive DVB-C in Linux, so testing it will be hard, but most likely it's not needed.

regards,
Patrick.
