In the syslog I get a line like: "DVB: VES1820(0): pwm=0x40"
I'll have to try changing it.

If this works, maybe a few lines in some readme file coud be added to the
dvb drivers so that others that run into the same problem atleast know what
to try.

What does this pwm thing do?
In the windows app the channel frequencies is for example 322.012Mhz but on
linux after running a scan it's 322Mhz. Coud this have anything to do with
it?
