I forgot to look at the intermediate variable that tv_channel was being
assigned to...  Turns out it's an unsigned int, while tv_channel is
returning an int...  We should fix this properly by changing temp to
be an int, or moving the check inline instead of removing it blindly...

I think I still have an old bktr card that I can throw in to do some
basic testing...

After doing some code sperlunking, looks like this bug was introduced
w/ the original driver 15 years ago...  And no one noticed even after
moving the code around a few times...
