Hi folks, Barnaby is still ahead of me: I now got as far as getting it to compile in the hg directory, however now I don't know how to make a patch for it. I also added a header to each file, so that it can be identified as RTL2831 product. I kind of understand now what's wrong. Can any of you confirm the behaviour below ? The communication between the RTL2831 and the tuner chip is broken. error!! rtd2831_tuner_register_read: ( offset , data ) = ( 0x0 , 0x0 ) size != -32 bytes The -32 clearly is an error message of some sort. My guess is: #define USB_ST_STALL (-EPIPE) /* pipe stalled, also in urb->status*/ Therefore. the driver reports it has an MXL5005 onboard. From http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ we know it should have been a MT2060. Furthermore the MXL5005 code in the driver seems never used: it has no debugging traps in it, suggesting that is never endured debugging. Thus I hardcoded the selector in tuner.c (now called tuner_2831.c in my archive). Still no connection, but many errors in the initial phase, all originating from a failed rtd2831_tuner_register_read call. Effects: CDevice::SetMT2060Tuner -- begin ****Error hMT2060 Handle In this part of the code, the subroutine TUNER_RI2C is used: the decoder is first set into a specific setting, and than the tuner is addressed. Apparenlty, rtd2831_tuner_register_read (in tuner_demod_io.c) tries to get something from a place where little can be gotten. Might it be that the 0x0300 address is wrong ?
