digitv tuner patch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A few weeks ago you made the following response re a problem with the usb DigiTV tuner, as noted below.
I have just installed a recent distro using the 2.6.20 kernel, and the problem still persists. Can you give me any idea when these patched will be included in a release kernel?
 
Many thanks,
 
Phil Taylor.

  11. Edit nxt6000.c
  12. Go to ~line 467 and add this line:
  13. if (fe->ops.tuner_ops.set_params) {
  14. + if (fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl) fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 1);
  15. fe->ops.tuner_ops.set_params(fe, param);
  16. if (fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl) fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 0);
  17. }
  18. Thanks to Alex Woods for fixing this... This will be merged into the master repository soon.
  19. ( i will also see to it that the -stable kernels get updated with this patch )
  20. Good Luck,
  21. Mike Krufky
