Thanks for the pointer. I tried kaffeine (0.8.7) today and it looks a
bit better with this on 2.6.31-rc7.
While a scan with mythTV comes up with no stations found at all,
kaffeine still finds some of the tv stations. But instead of the 27
stations I get with both mythTV and kaffeine on 2.6.26, kaffeine finds
only 15 stations with 2.6.31-rc7. Tuning to those then often at first
results in a 'could not get lock error', and succeeds on the second try.
So part of the blame might be put on mythTV but I think there is still a
problem with the driver.

I don't think it is a real error but just the information that the
firmware is still missing and will be requested (and the upload was
successful:

[    6.256335] cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware and/or mailbox pointer not
initialized or corrupted
[    6.260536] cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:01:07.2: firmware:

...
[    8.789850] cx88[0]/2-bb: Firmware upload successful.

To be on the safe side, I added all v4l-cx* images from that site but
the one I actually needed (v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw) is not available there.


So in summary, it still seems to me there is a problem with the driver
because I cannot get all channels with kaffeine either.

Best wishes,

Martin
