I dont know anything about tda9887, can u tell me what it does? I have programmed analog portion of a cx88 board AND a bttv board both using tuner-simple's TDVS-LGH062F tuner. Both work correctly, no problems. Bttv driver reports detected tda9887, cx88 driver does not. This is all in cvs. Mauro says that there should be init code for analog mode in tuner-core.c for this tuner to force analog mode by default, since Mac says that this must be explicitly set. THAT is what all the commotion is about. What do you think? tuner #64 - LG TDVS-H062F/TUA6034 bttv card# 135 - DViCO FusionHDTV5 Lite cx88 card #31 - DViCO FusionHDTV5 Gold in dvb-kernel cvs, there is a dvb_pll_desc: dvb_pll_tdvs_tua6034 This has different values from dvb_pll_tua6034... I think it is for ATSC reasons... Mac, can you elaborate on why dvb_pll_tua6034 was incorrect for our purpose? -- Michael Krufky
