| <title>Tuning</title> |
| <para>We will start with a generic tuning subroutine that uses the frontend and SEC, as well as |
| the demux devices. The example is given for QPSK tuners, but can easily be adjusted for |
| QAM. |

| <para>The program assumes that you are using a universal LNB and a standard DiSEqC |
| switch with up to 4 addresses. Of course, you could build in some more checking if |
| tuning was successful and maybe try to repeat the tuning process. Depending on the |
| external hardware, i.e. LNB and DiSEqC switch, and weather conditions this may be |
| necessary. |
