[Bug 33096] Re: "DVICO Fusion HDTV DVB Plus" tv tuner card will not lock on to channel

[Barney]

Upstream doesn't address the issue of the 0x61, or didn't at the time I raised the bug. I didn't find the previous bugs that changed the value until after I rasied this one - I just thought it was a typo in the dapper because I couldn't find a version of the kernel tree that had the change in it.

The whole issue of the same card type having different versions with the same id is annoying, my other tv card has the same problem - It is a low profile version with a totally different tuner module, but the card id is the same as the non low profile version.

Probably the fix would be to have both versions in the code and one version needs to be explicitly defined by passing the card type to the module at run time. This is how I get around the issue with my other card, because the reference card config works for it.

eg:
case CX88_BOARD_DVICO_FUSIONHDTV_DVB_T_PLUS_V2:
dev->core->pll_addr = 0x61;
...

Then you manually specify the corresponding number for V2 as a parameter when the module is loaded, if you have the card that needs the alternate configuration.

I wonder if upstream even know if there are 2 versions of this card...
