[linux-dvb] Pinnacle 300i (working!)

Hi,

The problem seems to be that the mt2050 thinks it's an analog tuner -
in mt2050_set_tv_freq(), the check for
"V4L2_TUNER_DIGITAL_TV==t->mode" fails, so the wrong if2 is passed to
mt2050_set_if_freq(). If I force if2 to the correct value then I get a
good dvb scan and everything seems hunky-dory. But I have no idea why
t->mode is wrong.

Cheers,
Mike Ferenduros
