The only commands as such as CLEAR and TUNE, the rest are tuning
parameters. The way this works is that the TUNE command informs
the kernel to retune using the parameters specified. This occurs
outside of the IOCTL call itself and you don't directly know
if a paramater was wrong, it just doesn't work.

The error you have:
> grep 14 /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h
#define EFAULT          14      /* Bad address */

Suggests a problem in your code...

This should something like SetProperties(struct dtv_properties cmdseq[])
and then call ioctl(fefd, FE_SET_PROPERTY, cmdseq)
This sends of your args at the same time.

That needs to be more like:
	SetProperties(&cmdseq)

I hope that helps.

cya!
