Tim,

The patch currently being tested only enables the analog video path on
the HVR1500, but this does lay down the ground work to bring up analog
on all of the other cards.

If the HVR1500 is working properly, then it will be easy to add analog
support for the HVR1500Q ... Once that is done, the exact same code
(for analog) will be reused for the FusionHDTV7 Dual.

Keep in mind, however, that you will only get ONE analog video device
on the F7 Dual, and that you must not try to use the first DVB adapter
while using the analog on that board.  You can always use the 2nd
adapter , though.

Actually, I think it might be a good idea to reverse the registration
order of the DVB adapters in the cx23885 driver, but I'll have to talk
to Steve about that.

I think it makes more sense to register VIDC first, since VIDC is
always going to be a DTV device, where there *might* be an encoder on
VIDB.

VIDB may or may not share a tuner with VIDA, but VIDC will always be
independant.

What do you think about that, Steve?

Regards,

Mike
