Hi Devin
> please confirm exactly which of your boards is not working.
Sorry for being unclear.
I have three test setups I am working with, all on the same computer.
1. Ubuntu Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-23-rt and drivers from v4l-dvb tip.
2. Ubuntu Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, stock Ubuntu drivers.
3. Ubuntu Karmic, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic, v4l-dvb tip.
Setups 2 & 3 are the same install, on a separate hard disk from setup 1.
I change between 2 & 3 by installing the v4l modules or restoring the
ubuntu stuff from backup. (rsync -av --delete).
The computer has two DVB-T cards.
First device is the same as Robert's, I believe. It has two tuners. lsusb gives:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0fe9:db78 DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4
(ZL10353+xc2028/xc3028) (initialized)
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0fe9:db78 DVICO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4
(ZL10353+xc2028/xc3028) (initialized)
I have a 'rev1' version of this board.
Second device is DViCO FusionHDTV Dual Digital Express, a PCIe card
based on cx23885[1] It also has two tuners. lspci gives:
04:00.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant Systems, Inc.

Kernel driver in use: cx23885
Kernel modules: cx23885
With Robert's patch compiled in:
* On setup 1
I am able to tune both cards and there are no errors from the cxusb module
or dvb-usb anymore.
I tested each of the four tuners, by running dvbscan with
appropriate arguments to
select the right /dev/dvb/adapterN.
I just realised I should probably revert the patch and check which
tuners show the
original problem. Before I was taking the default choice (adapter0,
I think) which is
one of lhe Dual Digital 4 tuners.
* I have yet to test setup 2,
I have built the patched kernel module but the box is back 'in
production' right now.
I plan to test tomorrow.
* On setup 3. I attempted to tune using dvbscan, w_scan and vlc.
Again, I was not specific about which tuner the applications should use.
So to answer your question, I think it is the lsusb id 0fe9:db78
that is unable to tune.
I will check the tuners individually, tomorrow.
My impression was that the failures were because of API differences
between the
applications (all provided as part of the ubuntu install) and the
V4L modules. I have
not tried to build v4l-apps from the mercurial tree.
So, I hope this makes things clearer. Happy to run tests if you have
any time to look at this.
Kind regards
Vince
