Tobias:

There are range checks in the driver.  However to understand this 
correctly I need to know which driver version you are using.  Is this an 
in-kernel driver, and if so which kernel version?

The current driver version range checks against the "legal" frequency 
range reported by the tuner module itself.  But older pvrusb2 driver 
versions used a hardcoded assumedly conservative limit - and the bottom 
at that time was 55.25MHz.  So, which driver version are you running?  
If it is in-kernel, tell me the kernel version.  Output from dmesg will 
help here as well.
