Usual applications set the symbol rate, and symbol rate is easily
converted into bandwidth. The DVB core does that. see 
dtv_set_frontend():

	switch (c->delivery_system) {
	case SYS_ATSC:
	case SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_B:
		c->bandwidth_hz = 6000000;
		break;
	case SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A:
		rolloff = 115;
		break;
	case SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_C:
		rolloff = 113;
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
	if (rolloff)
		c->bandwidth_hz = (c->symbol_rate * rolloff) / 100;
