[linux-dvb] HowTo for new tuner

is the best way to represent a tuner that has several frequency bands - the dvb_tuner_info and dvb_tuner_ops structs don't appear to be able to deal with this easily. Thanks, MikeW ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin

You are right - the devices are compatible except for the featureset restriction; I believe the IF_notch bit is also omitted. I look forward to giving your 18271 driver a spin when it becomes available. Regards, MikeW ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux

'entitlement message' can be sent out over the data stream to allow the card to generate the decryption code word sequence for the streams you have subscribed to. Depends on the broadcaster's encoding whether decryption would work across a mux. Regards, MikeW

imagine a FE_CAN_OFFSET_AUTO, FE_CAN_FREQ_CORRECT and FE_CAN_SAMP_CLOCK_CORRECT, in fe_caps, and an FE_HAS_OFFSET in fe_status, but can't see how you could read or set any of the other values without extending ioctls. Regards, MikeW ___ linux-dvb
