Hi Marcel,
The cause is that the tuner is set to 'radio' mode for some peculiar
reason. Can you add the 'debug=1' module option to the tuner module?
I'd like to see the messages from the tuner module when it loads. If
that doesn't help, then I will need your help to debug into the tuner
module. I've seen reports on this before, but I have never been able to
reproduce it myself. To be honest, I can't imagine what can cause this,
but obviously something is wrong here. You are not using any ivtv or
tuner module options, are you?
