I have the exact same problem. No-one has responded as yet. This is the only 
mail I've received on the subject:

"MSP manuals have conflicting information concerning FM-Matrix (Register 
0x000E) for Stereo-Radio.
Though some manuals mandate 0x02 for Fm-Radio (=KSTEREO [(L+R)/2, (L-R)/2] 
----> [L, R]),
this creats left-channel only here, 0x00 is fine (don't know if stereo; is 
there a utility
to visualize strength of stereo effect?). For newer chips 0x03 + ASS 
(automatic standard select) is
proposed. So this varies between MSP chips.

As radio is fixed now for all known MT2032 cards, you can go get a MSP 
datasheet
for your chip and start some experiments.

I then responded asking what on earth he was talking about, and could he 
please point me to some code where I *can* experiment (not being much of a 
coder myself), but like I said - no response.

Anyone out there who feels like tackling this problem? Myself and all the 
other PCTV Pro users would be mighty grateful :)
