Robert,

The changes in question (mostly authored by me) are based on
documentation on what offsets are to be used with the firmware for
various DVB bandwidths and demodulators.  The change was tested by Terry
on a Leadtek DVR 3100 H Analog/DVB-T card (CX23418, ZL10353, XC3028) and
some other cards I can't remember, using a DVB-T pattern generator for 7
and 8 MHz in VHF and UHF, and live DVB-T broadcasts in UHF for 6 MHz.

(Devin,
 Maybe you can double check on the offsets in tuner-xc2028.c with any
 documentation you have available to you?)


I haven't been following this thread really at all as the board in the
subject line was unfamiliar to me, so sorry for any late response or
dumb questions by me.  

May I ask:

1. what are the exact problem frequencies?
2. what is the data source from which you are getting the frequency
information?
3. what does tuner-xc2028 debug logging show as the firmware loaded when
tune to one of the the problem frequencies?




BTW, I note that in linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c:
cxusb_dvico_xc3028_tuner_attach(), this declaration

        static struct xc2028_ctrl ctl = {
                .fname       = XC2028_DEFAULT_FIRMWARE,
                .max_len     = 64,
                .demod       = XC3028_FE_ZARLINK456,
        };

really should have ".type = XC2028_AUTO" or ".type = XC2028_D2633", but
since XC2028_AUTO has a value of 0, it probably doesn't matter.


Regards,
Andy
