Wow I open my inbox and my thread is revived!

I will certainly volunteer. I have the "B" revision of the type 50 TCL2002N tuner. I have already been building the 2.6.9 kernel so I can apply any v4l patch you want and test it out.

Peter,
Thanks for volunteering to help with the tuner tests. Before sending you the modified patch, I just wanted to know if you have succeeded in getting the patched tuner module working--to the point you have video and audio (even if you feel your video is not perfect). I still have 136 e-mails in my ivtv folder, so I'm not sure of the final outcome of your efforts.
If you just get static instead of video, we'll have to get that working before testing. I need testers who can compare the quality of the picture with the current patches and with a slightly modified patch.
Thanks, Mike

That being said, I will admit that there is one place in the driver (not the
tuner definition, though) where we may need a small modification. I haven't
yet tested the change because--based on the other 48 tuner types defined
before the ones I worked on--it's extremely unlikely to be required. If it
is required, it almost definitely should have been implemented for many of
the other tuners, but that's another project... The change may affect the oscillator--and, therefore, the tuning quality.
To find out for sure, I need some volunteers who are using RF modulated (i.e. cable or broadcast--not S-Video or Composite) input, are certain they are using the correct frequency table (i.e. broadcast, us-cable, or us-cable-hrc), and have already successfully compiled a patched tuner module--regardless of whether they are pleased with the quality of picture--to test a change for me. Volunteers using both tuner type 47 (LG TAPE) and 50 (TCL 2002N) are appreciated... Volunteers, please send me and e-mail (with ivtv in the subject) and give your kernel version and tuner type.
Thanks.
Mike
