The pll is inside the tin-box, if it is an TDBE2-031A it will have a mitel pll. Anyway, we can't talk to the ves1820 (-121 is EREMOTEIO, see ves1820.c), so maybe the demod address is wrong for your card (I don't have a datasheet for the ALPS TDBE2-031A so I don't know if that's possible). Does the card work in Windoze? Try to replace: static struct ves1820_config alps_tdbe2_config = { .demod_address = 0x09, With values in range 0x08 ... 0x0f. If that's not it, then maybe there's a GPIO that needs to be set to wake up the ves1820? (That's why I asked if the card works for someone else.) Johannes
