Dear Mauro,

first of all, thank you for providing a proper fix that quickly.

Unfortunately, it appears to be more problematic. While the fix allows to scan 
the channel list, it is not complete (in another setup at the same dish (via 
multiswitch), vdrs channel list has about 1600 channels, while scan does 
collect 1138 only.

More importantly, a single channel (arte) is received with 0 BER and a S/N 
ratio of 99%, while all other channels produce more BER, eg. "Das Erste" with 
about 320 BER (SNR 99%, a few artifacts/distortions occasionally), 
"ZDF" about 6400 BER, (SNR drops down to 75%, constant distortions, and many 
channels doesn't produce anything beyond distortions with a video stream  
below 0.3 MBit/s and about 160000 BER. (measured using vdr femon plugin v. 
1.6.7)

So, still no cigar, sorry.

I've tested both patches, just to be sure, with the same result. I had to 
relocate and refresh yours in order to apply it to 3.4, since the paths 
changed, result attached.

It looks like the idea is sound, but the logic is still missing something that 
prevents it from tuning most channels properly.

Cheers,
Pete

Subject: [PATCH] [media] cx88: kernel bz#9476: Fix tone setting for Nova-S+ model 92001
References: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9476
Patch-mainline: pending

Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S model 92001 does not lock on horizontal
polarisation. According with the info provided at the BZ, model
92002 does.

The difference is that, on model 92001, the tone select is done via
isl6421, while, on other devices, this is done via cx24123 code.

This patch adds a way to override the demod's set_tone at isl6421
driver. In order to avoid regressions, the override is enabled
only for cx88 Nova S plus model 92001. For all other models and
devices, the set_tone is provided by the demod driver.

Patch originally proposed at bz@9476[1] by Michel Meyers and
John Donoghue but applying the original patch would break support
for all other devices based on isl6421.
