I just wanted to report on my progress with the MSI TV@nywhere A/D card v1.1 in case anyone has some ideas that might help getting this card working 100%. I've posted a picture of my card at the following URL: http://ringo.com/photos/photo.html?photoId=253664472 . The chipset includes: Philips TDA10046A digital decder, Philips SAA7131E analog decoder and a 8275AC1 tuner. I am able to get most functions working using the latest drivers (as of today - hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb). I'm running Mythbuntu with the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel. I followed the instructions from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers#Case_2:_Installation_of_LinuxTV_Drivers_Required . As this card isn't currently recognized (1131:7133), I used the following to load the driver: modprobe saa7134 card=109. I choose card=109 because this is for a reference design and there are other cards with the same combination of chips as the MSI card that work using this. Note that firmware must be obtained using the latest get_dvb_firmware script (also included with the latest drivers). Firmware obtained with an earlier version of this script didn't work. Analog TV worked without a problem (even with the older drivers). There is still a problem with the digital decoder. Sometimes it works fine (I can scan for channels and can run tzap to view a channel using mplayer). However, sometimes these commands don't work. I've noticed the following when running dmesg: [ 6318.055521] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok [ 6322.661170] tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock [ 6322.856931] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok [ 6410.414553] tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock [ 6410.610246] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok [ 6629.945993] tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock [ 6630.173438] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid [ 6630.173451] tda1004x: trying to boot from eeprom [ 6630.541243] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok [ 6658.598487] tda1004x: setting up plls for 48MHz sampling clock [ 6658.834190] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid [ 6658.834202] tda1004x: trying to boot from eeprom [ 6659.201994] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid [ 6659.202007] tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...

Does anybody have any ideas why or what I could do to try and fix this? Hopefully this problem can be sorted out and another card can be added to the list of supported DVB-T cards. Yay!
