^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is an invalid revision. Where did you get that tree?

...quoting tda8083.c:
446 .frequency_min = 950000, /* FIXME: guessed! */
447 .frequency_max = 1400000, /* FIXME: guessed! */
... looks like this min / max was guessed incorrectly. This issue has only been made visible recently due to this recent changeset from Oliver Endriss:
dvb_frontend: Range check of frequency and symbol rate
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/8186a34dd0a6
Oliver's patch is correct, but it exposed this bug inside tda8083.c
for a TEMPORARY workaround, you can backout Oliver's patch:
hg backout 8186a34dd0a6
...or instead, you can just increase .frequency_max inside tda8083.c
... but that doesn't fix it for everybody else. Somebody needs to get a spec for the tda8083 and correct the frequency range.

Mike Krufky
