I am aware that there is some development going on for the saa7164
driver to support the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2205.  I thought I would post
some feedback.  I have recently compiled the driver as at 2015-05-31
using "media build tree".  I am unable to tune a channel.  When
running the following w_scan command:

w_scan -a4 -ft -cAU -t 3 -X > /tmp/tzap/channels.conf

I get the following error after scanning the frequency range for
Australia.

ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder
  Nothing to scan!!

At the same time I get the following messages being logged to the
Linux console.

Many thanks to the developers for all of your hard work.

Let me guess they have changed Si2168 chip to latest "C" version. Driver
supports only A and B (A20, A30 and B40). I have never seen C version.

gah, looking the driver I think that is not issue - it will likely print "unknown chip version Si2168-C.." on that case already. However, I remember I have seen that kind of issue earlier too, but don't remember what was actual reason. Probably something to do with firmware, wrong firmware and loading has failed? Could you make cold boot, remove socket from the wallet and wait minute it really powers down, then boot and look what happens.

regards
Antti
