Hi,

no, there are 3 different sets used in north america alone:

 broadcast, CATV (cable) and one called (I forget, another cable set).
In the kit I got from Philips (tv400.exe) they have:

E-EUROPA.CHN    JAPAN.CHN       USA-CATV.CHN
FRANCE.CHN      USA-BCST.CHN    W-EUROPA.CHN

I believe it deals with dbx.  the chip is the TDA9850.  The alignment
procedure talks of reading in values via the I2C bus and storing
them in non-volatile ram.  then I guess you load them each time you powerup.
