Mauro, Have you verified this work with a detailed spectrum analysis study? If so then please share. For example, by measuring the I/F out of various tuners in a mix of use cases, with and without the AGC being driven by any downstream demodulator? Also, taking into consideration any external LNA variance. I'm concerned that a tuner AGC Gain is a meaningless measurement and in practice demodulators don't actually care, and tuners don't implement their gain reporting capabilities correctly at all. This feels like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. -- Steven Toth - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com +1.646.355.8490 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
