Re: Leadtek DTV-1000S

This problem is reproducible and occurs the same from a cold boot or
inserting saa7134. Analog tv has never worked on this card, I was
under the impression there was no analog tuner on the card (looking at
http://www.leadtek.com/eng/tv_tuner/image/digital_tv.pdf). The info
was simply from doing a modprobe on saa7134. The only lines in the
dmesg that were different from the old driver was

saa7130[0]/alsa: Leadtek Winfast DTV1000S doesn't support digital audio

So I guess the analog part has always failed

I am using the nvidia driver and a driver for my wireless card, I will
turn these off and see if I can get a different result.

During tuning for digital tv with the old driver I got

[ 1081.808505] tda18271: performing RF tracking filter calibration
[ 1086.152006] tda18271: RF tracking filter calibration complete
[ 1091.020535] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card
#0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.


The final line did not appear when I tried to tune using the new version

[ 1225.904503] tda18271: performing RF tracking filter calibration
[ 1230.272003] tda18271: RF tracking filter calibration complete
