Not for me. (N.B i'm no expert in v4l). Looking at xawtv sources (file
libng/plugins/drv0-v4l2.c) it does the following:

---
static void
v4l2_setfreq(void *handle, unsigned long freq)
{
    struct v4l2_handle *h = handle;
    struct v4l2_frequency f;

    if (ng_debug)
        fprintf(stderr,"v4l2: freq: %.3f\n",(float)freq/16);
    memset(&f,0,sizeof(f));
    f.type = V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV;
    f.frequency = freq;
    xioctl(h->fd, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY, &f, 0);
}

I think you are missing something or your driver is somehow broken,
but a lot of cheap (and not so) cards have an saa7130/7134 and work
fine.

i have no clue. The best advice I can give you is to grab the sources
of some app (xawvt is a good starting point) and see how it works.
Isn't free software wonderful?
