Hi Hartmut,
I got the same tuning problems as Patrick. After your patch the Pinnacle 
400e is not working anymore. I can get a signal, but no lock at all.
I took a look at the PCB and there is definitely an LNBP21PD soldered 
onto it.
Your patch disables the modulation of the 22kHz signal inside the demod 
as fas as I understood, but then the LNBP21PD was supposed to generate it.

Unfortunately this is not possible with the Pinnacle 400e. I took a look 
at the LNBP21PD datasheet which states, that DSQIN is supposed to be 
connected to GND if you don't want the 22kHz signal to be generated by 
the LNBP21 itself. Guess what?! Pin 14(DSQIN) is connected to GND.

For the time being I reverted your patch on my local system and the 
Pinnacle 400e is working flawlessly again.

  André
