Re: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2205 driver feedback

I'm seeing the same issue as well. I thought that maybe some recent
Si2168 changes did impact this, but it does not seem to be the case.

I made a quick test myself. I reverted the latest si2168 patches one
by one, but that did not remedy the situation. Anyway, the kernel log
does not seem to indicate that the si2168_cmd_execute itself would
fail (which is what happens after the I2C error handling patch in case
the demod sets the error bit).

dmesg lines when it fails (this is with a card that has worked before):
