Joe, nice optimization - thanks for that.

With regards to Peter's patch, is this a digital-only tuner, or is it
a hybrid tuner?

The 5th byte that you send to the THOMSON DTT7546X seems to resemble
the 'auxiliary byte' that gets set in tuner-simple.c

I'm not sure that dvb-pll is the right place for this tuner
definition, if this is the case.  Maybe this definition belongs in
tuner-simple instead, if the pattern matches better there.

Mauro, can we hold off on merging Peter's patch until we resolve this?
