checking tuner lock

Hi list,

I own a palmodded tivo ( replaced the ntsc tuner with a pal tuner )
it worked perfectly until i moved to a new place, now the sound regularly
stops and the video becomes shaky. To make a long story short:
i think the issue is that the frequencies are slightly different here
i think i found a tool that checks the video lock on the tuner ( code pasted
below )
the output should be 0x81000000 if video lock is good according to the
source of yet another
program.
I mostly get 0x89000000 0x33000000 and sometimes 0x8100000
Could anyone confirm that the program is correct in saying if the tune lock
is ok or not?
the tuner is a philips 4006fh5 datasheet available upon request.

cheers

Tim
