For those people who have the Samsung tuner (either the NTSC or PAL
model) and are having quality problems: thanks to the help of Russell
Salerno I finally obtained the datasheets for these tuners. After going
through the datasheets I found the cause of the quality problems. I'm
now working with Dave Logan (who has one of these cards) to finally fix
this.
So watch this space, I hope to have a correct patch for this soon.
Regards,
Hans
PS: this fix applies only to the Samsung tuners, other tuner models are
not affected.
