We know now about the new A/D version V1.1, saw only a fuzzy picture so far, but looks like a KS003 something for the remote and not that PIC on the prior, different addresses, IIRC. That one also has the supposed LNA in the tuner area visible. Must look it up again, but for what I remember I did not find a difference between your Vivanco card and what Peter D. has. We also have regspy output from a recent cardbus A/D NB, but Mauro can't test any DVB-T currently and analog is fine on that one with card=94. However, maybe the differences of the gpio settings in DVB-T mode visible there may help us to figure out a pattern we miss. analog SAA7134_GPIO_GPMODE: 8078e700 (10000000 01111000 11100111 00000000) SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS: 08218000 (00001000 00100001 10000000 00000000) composite SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS: 08218000 (00001000 00100001 10000000 00000000) s-video SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS: 08218000 (00001000 00100001 10000000 00000000) radio SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS: 08018000 (00001000 00000001 10000000 00000000) dvb-t SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS: 08e08000 (00001000 11100000 10000000 00000000) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- board init: gpio is 8210000 1000 00100001 00000000 00000000 Cheers, Hermann _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
