Simple tuner Programming

There are some flavors of Tuner programming APIs. These differ mainly by the bandswitch byte.

  • L= LG_API (VHF_LO=0x01, VHF_HI=0x02, UHF=0x08, radio=0x04)
  • P= PHILIPS_API (VHF_LO=0xA0, VHF_HI=0x90, UHF=0x30, radio=0x04)
  • T= TEMIC_API (VHF_LO=0x02, VHF_HI=0x04, UHF=0x01)
  • A= ALPS_API (VHF_LO=0x14, VHF_HI=0x12, UHF=0x11)
  • M= PHILIPS_MK3 (VHF_LO=0x01, VHF_HI=0x02, UHF=0x04, radio=0x19)

Tuner Manufacturers

  • Samsung Tuner identification: (e.g. TCPM9091PD27)
