Hi! I'm new to the list, mostly joining to report a bug (with fix)
for the DViCO dual digital card, using the XC3028 tuner.
I'm using suse kernels, which is currently 2.6.27.21. I downloaded
the 2.6.29.1 kernel, and the relevant pieces of code have not
changed. This driver worked fine in the 2.6.25.16 kernel.
Symptom: card detects carrier, but does not lock onto it.
Cause: the driver was NOT loading the SCODE for the card.
PATCH (against 2.6.29.1):

====================================================
Explanation: Setting the .demod element above results in
the "int_freq" parameter to load_scode()
(drivers/media/common/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c) being non-zero (value is
derived from the .demod line above). The first if() is false, and
it's all downhill from there.
The above patch puts things back to the state of the 2.6.25.16 kernel.
Tested on both IA32 and AMD 64 systems.
Thanks,
Lindsay
