Re: Tuning problems with em28xx-dvb & tda10071 on MIPS-based router board

Thanks for the info. Then I'll try to fix it by myself and isolate the
error by comparing the driver behavior on the PC and my router. I hope
I can provide a patch for that afterwards.

Are there any hints where I might look first. Since it only works for
very few transponders I suppose the error in the frontend.... or not?

Regards
Ingo
