AW: PCTV 520e on Linux

 Just a quick note: The 520e does use the TDA18271 tuner, not an XC5000.

While I fundamentally disagree with this change, I'm not going to nack
it.  That said, this wasn't the issue I was concerned with.  My
suggestion was simply that you cannot assume that all devices that
happen to have a particular demod and tuner combo will always use the
same IF configuration.  The PCB layout can effect the optimal IF.

This is one of those things that (like many tuners in the LinuxTV
tree) will probably work good enough to get a signal lock for whoever
added the board profile, but will result in poor tuning performance
(and a failure to work in less-than-ideal reception conditions).

All that said, if somebody actually intends to hack on it, I can look
up what the correct IF is for the 520e.
