	Cool, I hadn't realised that, Rudy.

	That also means that the scanning code must be grabbing
the scanned frequency _back_ from the frontend!
(i.e. mythtv-setup says "try 191625000", frontend locks,
       fine tunes to 191666000, and mythtv-setup reads
       and stores that value in the database)
Of course, the other possibility us that there are integer
math rounding errors in the frontend driver code :-)


	I will have try now with my older cards, to see what they do.
