My other device, a STB0899, always reports the set frequency. So it seems
driver dependent whether it reports the actually locked frequency found by
the zig-zag-algorithm or just the set frequency to tune to.
The STV0299 blindly sets the value based on a software zigzag (due to simpler
hardware), but this might not be accurate enough. On the other hand, the
STB0899 internally does zig-zag in hardware for DVB-S2, and partly in
software for DVB-S.
In any event, the get_frontend callback should return the value that is read
from the demodulator registers, rather than the cached original value that
which was requested to be tuned.
The stb0899 returns only the cached value IIRC. Maybe I will fix this soon,
or maybe you can send a patch.
See the attached patch.
This is what I get after the patch:

I'll have to let VDR "travel" across the transponders several
times to see whether I get similar results for the previously
mentioned transponder on the stv0299 device.
Bye.
