The firmware I attached is not a complete replacement for the original
firmware.  It should replace only the 7MHz (xc3028_DTV7_2633.i2c.fw) for
Australia.  The base firmware (xc3028_init0.i2c.fw) needs to be loaded
first.


Did you forget to attach that file now?

Do you know of anyone else in the world on 7MHz who's had success with the
2750000 offset?  We could certainly include the offset in the firmware.

I think including the offset in the firmware would be a good way, I
have the specs for firmware 2.5, the driver was written for firmware
2.7.
The offset is indeed different with firmware 2.5, so best would be to
make it as generic as possible.

I'll
need to check that the v2 firmware will work with the board.  Even with the
adjusted offset there are still some frequencies which do not map to the
same
tuning values as used by windows.

Would you be able to place a #define around this specific for Australia - at
least until we can figure out a better way to deal with it?  I'm concerned
that
this may not work in other parts of the world.

for now we can put a specific firmware online for Australia, I don't
know what's the difference between AU and the rest of the world, in
the end userspace applications should be able to adjust that setting.
