I remember Andrew de Quincy (sorry if I messed up the spelling of your 
surname!) talking about this before on the list, but in relation to the older 
Nova-T Grundig frontend... 

At the time he'd tried 3 or 4 cards all tuned to the same freq in the same 
machine and noticed no ill side-effects regarding stability of signal 
quality, so commented the code out in a patch he sent...  Perhaps the bending 
is only relevant to DVB-S or DVB-C...

I don't think you're going to kill anything by also commenting this code out 
=)

Cheers,
Gavin.
