The examples in tune 0.0.6 have two extra zeros :

it should be
{ .cmd = DTV_BANDWIDTH_HZ,    .u.data = 8000000 },
not
{ .cmd = DTV_BANDWIDTH_HZ,    .u.data = 800000000 },

After applying the multifrontend patch I have signal lock working with HVR4000 and 
S2API on all three delivery systems:
DVB-T (tune -f 1 option)
and
DVB-S/S2 (tune -f 0 option)

The legacy API works too for DVB-T and DVB-S. Darron has a cx24116 patch which
I needed to apply.
