No improvement, unfortunately. That's weird. Well, then we need to read tda827x datasheets and to try get information data from Pinnacle about this specific device configuration. > > Regards, > /Anders -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
