Vivanco 21056/LR306 a.k.a. MSI DVB@Anywhere a.k.a LifeView Hybrid doesn't scan

Hello everybody,

I've got a Vivanco PCI Hybrid card which seems to be another LifeView Hybrid 
clone, very much like the MSI DVB@Anywhere (the card layout looks exactly the 
same) card or the AsusTek P7131 Hybrid, 
as treated in some threads in January and May.

The card's subsystem ID is 4e42:3306, on the card there's a SAA7131E, a 
TDA10046A and an 8275AC1 (among other chips of course), the distro is SIDUX 
(Debian-based), using Kernel 2.6.21.5.  XP Lifeview application works, same 
applies to ProgTV. Signal strength is OK.

I've got the latest HG snapshot and am using card=55, which yields the 
following DMESG output:

Analog and external sources work with no problems, I didn't bother getting the 
sound working so far.

tda827x_probe_version: could not read from tuner at addr: 0xc0

Trying to scan using W_SCAN shows the following terminal output:

w_scan version 20060902
Info: using DVB adapter auto detection.
Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0'
Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0'

main:2140: FATAL: ***** NO USEABLE DVB CARD FOUND. *****

and nothing in dmesg

So I patched saa7134-dvb.c as follows:

static struct tda1004x_config tda827x_lifeview_config = {
	.demod_address = 0x08,
	.invert        = 1,
	.invert_oclk   = 0,
	.xtal_freq     = TDA10046_XTAL_16M,
	.agc_config    = TDA10046_AGC_TDA827X,
	.gpio_config   = TDA10046_GP11_I,
	.if_freq       = TDA10046_FREQ_045,
	.tuner_address = 0x61,	/* this used to be 0x60 */
	.request_firmware = philips_tda1004x_request_firmware
};

As a result, the error messages have vanished and everything seems to be fine 
so far, but W_SCAN doesn't find any frequencies, while DMESG seems OK:

tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock
tda1004x: found firmware revision 29 -- ok

Radio (IFA)

... also fails: SCAN -v gives a tuning status of 0x00

I've tried quite a few things before bothering you here, I even stripped the 
firmware out of the driver on the Vivanco web side instead of using 
TDA10046Lifeview, but no avail, so I'm somewhat clueless at the moment and 
hoping that somebody here can help me out.

Thanks in advance for your support
Werner
