Sure. Unfortunately, I don't know what's useful information and what's
not, so I may overload you :)

I'll tackle the latter first: analog works just fine after saa7134
module is loaded (this for me happens automatically during boot). It
continues working even after saa7134-dvb is loaded, all the way until I
run any dvb application (e.g. scan or mythbackend with a DVB card
configured). Once a dvb device is accessed the card is switched to
digital mode (and I can watch digital TV just fine).

Now for the first question: from that point onwards digital works fine,
but accessing the card in analogue mode (say using tvtime or mythtv via
the analogue tuner) produces the following errors in the kernel log:

Oct  2 16:04:38 localhost kernel: [  540.007478] tuner 1-0061: i2c i/o
error: rc == -5 (should be 4)
Oct  2 16:04:38 localhost kernel: [  540.015462] tuner 1-0061: i2c i/o

Oct  2 16:04:38 localhost kernel: [  540.131306] tuner 1-0061: i2c i/o

Oct  2 16:04:38 localhost kernel: [  540.139289] tuner 1-0061: i2c i/o

Oct  2 16:04:38 localhost kernel: [  540.215214] tuner 1-0061: i2c i/o
error: rc == -5 (should be 4)

They come in batches of six at a time every time I start tvtime and then
one at a time every time I change channels.


Also, here's more stuff from the log, if it's useful:

When saa7134 module is loaded at boot:

Then, when saa7134-dvb is loaded, this is logged:

Oct  2 16:01:54 localhost kernel: [  376.454989] DVB: registering new
adapter (saa7134[0]).
Oct  2 16:01:54 localhost kernel: [  376.454997] DVB: registering
frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...


And, finally, when the dvb devices are accessed (using scan), this:

Oct  2 16:03:16 localhost kernel: [  457.845609] tda1004x: setting up
plls for 48MHz sampling clock
Oct  2 16:03:16 localhost kernel: [  458.368985] tda1004x: found
firmware revision 23 -- ok



And this reminds me: I never downloaded any firmware for tda10046 - it
just worked this way, though various documentation says that I should
use the get_dvb_firmware script from linux/Documentation/dvb. Why is it
working without firmware (out of curiosity)?


Thanks,
Tomislav
