I have been trying to get the radio function on my Hauppauge HVR-1600 working and haven't had any luck. I have tried several radio programs. When they scan for stations they indicate that there is a "good" station at every frequency tried. I don't know if this feature has been implemented on this card yet. If it hasn't, please let me know and disregard the rest of this posting. If it has, please let me know what I need to do to get the radio function working.
My system is based on a ASUS M3N78 Pro motherboard with and AMD quad core 9950 and 4G RAM. The Linux distribution I run is Gentoo and the kernel version is gentoo-sources-2.6.28. The kernel is generated with "Genkernel" I have installed the drivers using the instructions from this web page "http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18";. I have tried several of the latest tarballs since mid December and I'm currently using "v4l-dvb-211ae674f601". I installed these drives from the source using "make remove-install", "make clean", "make", and "make install" in that order. The following is the output generated form the system log and v4l2-dbg. cx18 information from message log at boot Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 Linux video capture interface: v2.00 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18: Start initialization, version 1.0.1 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Initializing card #0 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge card Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC2] enabled at IRQ 17 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18 0000:01:09.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: cx23418 revision 01010000 (B) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [AIGP] enabled at IRQ 20 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 nvidia 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[AIGP] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 nvidia 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 180.18 Thu Dec 18 14:31:41 PST 2008 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: Hauppauge model 74541, rev C6B6, serial# 5060549 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: MAC address is 00-0D-FE-4D-37-C5 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: tuner model is Philips FM1236 MK5 (idx 116, type 43) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: audio processor is CX23418 (idx 38) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: decoder processor is CX23418 (idx 31) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tveeprom 0-0050: has radio Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Autodetected Hauppauge HVR-1600 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: VBI is not yet supported Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tuner 1-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tda9887 1-0043: creating new instance Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tda9887 1-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (cx18 i2c driver #0-1) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cs5345 0-004c: chip found @ 0x98 (cx18 i2c driver #0-0) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tuner-simple 1-0061: creating new instance Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 tuner-simple 1-0061: type set to 43 (Philips NTSC MK3 (FM1236MK3 or FM1236/F)) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Disabled encoder IDX device Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 cx18-0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (2 MB) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 DVB: registering new adapter (cx18) Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 MXL5005S: Attached at address 0x63 Jan 8 16:22:23 ms2 DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 19170759 (Samsung S5H1409 QAM/8VSB Frontend)...

I hope this information helps identify what my problem is. I appreciate any help with this and thank you in advance.
