[apologies if you already got this, my email client is acting weirdly today] Hi, Ah, the tuner module detects the mt2050 ok if I load tda9887 first, thanks for the hint. Digital scanning still doesn't work though...there are no i2c problems I can see, and the mt2050 says it's tuning to the right frequency, but nothing happens beyond that. Could anyone provide a log of a 300i doing a successful scan?

The i2c errors I was getting are gone now, but still no digital tuning.
