What is the status of the hauppauge dvb-t card?  I read on various sites 
that the tuner part isn't implemented, but google throws up several
entries on this mailing list that say it should work.

Following one such message on the use of dvbtune I have struggled to
get something working, but it's not responding (the card works OK
in Windows).

'make insmod' gives the following messages, which look OK:

However dvbtune then doesn't work.  dvbtune 0.1 gives:

tuning DVB-T to 754166000
Channel tuned
FE_FAILURE_EV
Event:  iFrequency: 3
Bit error rate: 65535
Signal strength: 0
SNR: 0
FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_POWER FE_HAS_SIGNAL
Nothing to read from fd_pat
Nothing to read from fd_sdt
<transponder type="T" freq="754166000"></transponder>

And dvbtune 0.2 gives:
spock:/home/tmh/dvbtune-0.1/scripts# dvbtune -f 754166 -i
FD 4: SEC DEVICE (warning) : Invalid argument
<transponder type="S" freq="754166" srate="0" polarity="" >
Nothing to read from fd_pat
Nothing to read from fd_sdt
</transponder>

I never get any channels back from either of them.  I think the 
frequency numbers are right for my transmitter (Winter Hill).

As far as I can tell the FE_FAILURE_EV warning is fatal & means that
something has gone badly wrong... I don't understand the driver enough
to work out what though.
