Hi.

Thanks for all your reports.

It should be appreciated that these fixes in no way affect the tuner
module and should have no impact on channel reception. If you find
a difference then it can either be a transient one else a bug elsewhere
although I cannot see where that could be.

I have tidied up the fixes and now places them here:
http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-20091103/

The list of fixes are as follows which include two beyond the scope
of this bug:

1. IR detector initialised correctly for kernel >= 2.6.30. A new detection
routine in later kernels failed to detect the IR CPU, this has been rectified.

2. DVB-T demod reset changes. The changes are as detailed in this
bug to allow retuning of dvb-t to now complete successfully.

3. Analog audio routing has been corrected and cx88_alsa mostly
fixed. What this means is is that you can now properly use the FM
radio on the hvr1300 and if you are keen perform video/audio capture
using /dev/video0 and cx88_alsa.

For 1 above, modprobe ir-kbd-i2c hauppauge=1
For 2 above, test with kaffeine-1.0-pre2 or above.
For 3 above, refer to:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000
(FM radio receiver and Audio/Analog capture)

In the latter case you may find the audio input level
to be too high. There is a patchset I have to deal with this
issue but it is not included here.

This repo is under test and potentially will be submitted elsewhere
later this week.

Bye
