Glad to hear it's working.  Could you provide specifics on what you've
tested: 7 MHz, 8 MHz, UHF, VHF, AV1, AV2, AV3, and what Acer Box AV
inputs correspond to what cx18 driver inputs?

Also could you provide to me the verbose start-up logs you said failed
to make it to the list?  I'd like to see if any of your cards have the
ZL10353 instead of the MT352.

You're welcome.

I'd like to get 2 more things done:

1. Get the EEPROM dump working for the MPC-718 working properly.  It
will hopefully be useful for identifying variants of the card in the
future.

2. Change the function to init the mt352 DVB-T demodulator to read in a
"firmware" file.  The init sequence in my repository was extracted from
the windows driver.  I strongly believe I cannot have that committed to
the Linux kernel, even though it is only 46 bytes from a 143 kilobyte
file.  I will also have to write an extraction tool to pull the sequence
out of the windows binary and put instructions on a wiki page.


I will need you to test both of these changes when I'm ready.

Andy
