In the datasheet for the Philips TUV1236D tuner, it describes how the TDA9885 is turned on and off by one of the GPIO pins of the NXT2004 demodulator. The same pin also powers off and on the "digital IF section", whatever that is exactly (obviously the NXT2004 isn't powering itself down with its own GPIO pin). I imagine this is a big problem for v4l, needing to talk to the ATSC demodulator to turn the analog demodulator on. Anyway, the FMD1216ME datasheet doesn't say anything about turning the TDA9887 on or off. Still, it stands to reason that Philips would have added the ability to do this for the same reason they added it to the TUV1236D. Do you have a datasheet or design guide that explains about needing to turn the tda9887 on? Is it one of the TUA6034 ports that controls it? If analog doesn't work the fmd1216, then I don't think a dvb-pll integration patch should be obligated to fix it. But, I don't want to break anything that does work now. I wonder how the other users of the fmd1216, in the cx88 and cxusb driver, work in analog mode?

If you want, I can make a simple patch that fixes the bug in fmd1216me_sleep quickly to apply first. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
