The attached patch shows the 2 lines which need to be changed. The first change is setting input_frequency to 0x2217 and the second is changing the frequency offset for 7MHz to 2250000. There are two other minor changes in the patch to remove obsolete code. Obviously, there needs to be a way to enable the Australia-specific settings at runtime before they can be committed.
Regarding the firmward I have a few considerations (which are no big issues) * the first device reset request is missing in the firmware, which means if that firmware will be used with other devices it wouldn't be possible to reload the base firmware * regarding the different offset I consider a firmware upgrade (there's an internal versionnumber for the firmware binaries, the second version of the firmware could contain the offsets for the different firmwares) I'll add the fixed input frequency asap. So far well done guys! Markus
The reason why I say that I have had "some success" as opposed to "total success" is that I am getting patchy reception on some channels and I am unable to even get a signal lock on others. This might be due to: a) The 2250000 offset causing frequency settings to map to incorrect register values, or b) Bad reception. I suspect this is the case as I have bloody awful reception on my analog TV. I hope to buy a booster box tomorrow to see if it makes any difference. Kudos to Roger and Julian for enabling me to get this far.
