Hi Felix,
the changes I made are working. The tuner is recognised as an Alps BSRU6
and I do get a reasonable reception. Though I do get those 'cc
discontinuity' errors that have been reported before. I will
investigate on that later.
Here's a patch of my changes to stv0299.c.

Hope that helps.
Again thanks for your support and pointing me to the root of the
problem.
Bye Jo

Lieber Gott,
gib mir die Weisheit meinen Chef zu verstehen,
gib mir die Liebe meinem Chef zu verzeihen,
gib mir die Geduld seine Taten zu begreifen,
aber gib mir keine Kraft
denn wenn Du mir Kraft gibst
schlage ich ihm den Sch?del ein.
