The best setup ever was with kernel > 2.6.12.5 and the video4linux-archive as of 27062005 from bytesex.org. that it is not detected and also doesn't work in analog mode I would expect to be caused by an error in a recent patch, which announced to force tda9887 port2=1 INACTIVE, but unfortunately did the opposite port2=0 ACTIVE then and the analog tuner becomes invisible on this card. The suspicious thing is that this was previously not needed at all. You can change this in saa7134-cards.c for the 300i or load tda9887 with "port2=1". After you quit digital tuning the driver should do this too in saa7134-dvb.c to prepare the card for analog use again. Seems to fail? Since I neither have the card nor any specific idea of what is broken in digital mode, my suggestion is only to enable i2c_debug=1 and gpio_tracking=1 for saa7134 and maybe debug=2 for tda9887 and follow every single buffer looking for errors and maybe also compare the working stuff with the broken then. > You may wish to have a look at: http://www.puuhis.net/htpc/ and at > http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Pinnacle_300i though it's in German. > > > So I was wondering if anyone ever did get theirs working; if so, could you > > point me in the right direction please?
