The TCL MNM05-4 appears to have a TDA9887 based on tuner chip
autodetection:

http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2009-May/009388.html

and it supports M systems since it is on an HVR-1600 sold in an NTSC-M
market.

The EEPROM on the particular HVR-1600 says no radio is supported.  Maybe
the tuner actually does support FM radio, but it just isn't wired up on
the HVR-1600.  Maybe FM AF baseband doesn't come out of the tuner, but
SIF can still be used to demodulate FM radio.  I don't know.

When looking through the list in tuner-types.c only 2 analog-only, NTSC
tuners had a TDA9887:

TUNER_PANASONIC_VP27      type 46 
TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3  type 43

Since the TCL MFNM05-4, which has FM radio, was using the
TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3 type, I guessed the MNM05-04 would be very
close.


Can the tda9887 detection code in Linux give a false positive?

Andy
