Of course this was it all about! And as long there is no tuner address detection on DVB-T, we need the new config. Started with this Twinhan saa713x, followed by the CTX953 and also this new Avermedia hybrid now. Hard these days to ack new hardware without having it, but yes, this one needs a new config currently in saa7134-dvb. > His card seems to be dvb-t only, he claims no analog support, but I have trouble > believing that, given that it uses a tda8275 tuner and a saa7131 bridge -- this > bridge has a tda8290 spliced into it.

Think we saw the new variant without DVB-T support already on the video4linux-list. Analog video was working with the Avermedia Go 007 entry, no analog audio support, radio likely needs to be changed to amux TV, but with these new DVB-T variants, how to get analog initialization seems not to be clear yet. > Feel free to make any suggestions, I will not commit any patch if people disagree. Should be added to DVB-T just now, but the existence of the LNA should also be tested with config=0, if this makes any difference. On a good photo, the LNA should also become visible, since this one has no shielding ... The remote looks like on the other Aver/initial_Medion stuff, but can't identify the usual controller on the fuzzy pictures. If we have on the v4l-wiki and in comments, what is not yet supported, we better move them in. To wait until _everything_ is perfect seems no solution either. On the saa7133/35/31e only dual language support is missing, Soeren gets hangs after 5 days, still could be a bug ... The driver is not clever enough for cardbus power handling and advanced suspend modes, but else really not bad. Any help is welcome! If we get trouble, we can at least share it.
