I have followed your advice and created a small wiki page
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_Winfast_PxDVR_3200_H

with the 3 regspy's dumps (external links because I can't upload *.txt
files or didn't found how)

The v4l wiki doesn't provide much informations about this, the em2880
page redirects me to  http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php/Em2880 which I
already know (I own a A16D card too), should I download firmwares from
there?
There is a firmware-tool in v4l2-apps/util/xc3028-firmware/ but I don't
know what to provide to it.

I think that's portc : VID_C_INT_MSK is 00011101 for digital whereas
the same value is affected to VID_A_INT_MSK when in analog, am I on
right track?

Ok, I  leave this part aside for the moment.

Yes this was a guess based on the content of the inf file:

HKR,"DriverData","tuner_reset_gpio_bit", 0x00010001, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00

and the following in cx23885-cards.c:

 /* GPIO-0 cx24227 demodulator */
                /* GPIO-2 xc3028 tuner */

/* Put the parts into reset */
                cx_set(GP0_IO, 0x00050000);
                cx_clear(GP0_IO, 0x00000005);

for me this was 2^0 2^2, and since there is only an xc3028 on my card I
have tried 2^2 alone.

Hopefully this didn't break anything, but now I know it's better not to
play with that.

Now, I obtained GP0_IO value (00070404) from RegSpy,  could it be as
simple as using this 'as is'?

Thanks to read this until the end.
