So tone=0 means that the frequency upper limit is 11700? This basically
means that all the muxes I've tested have required tone=1 as they have
been >11700. Specifying tone=0 manually makes vlc "see" the value (printed
in the debugging output), but not do anything special.

For me it seems it can only "tune" to pretuned channels with fec=5/6,
other pretuned channels with different fec won't bring up an image.
