Comment 9 for bug 446575

Hi Karel, thanks for your help but unfortunately I don't think it's a firmware problem. I had installed the firmware to /lib/firmware, and from dmesg it seems the firmware is loading ok:

[ 16.212006] tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready
[ 16.252007] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
[ 16.252011] tda1004x: trying to boot from eeprom
[ 18.576006] tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready
[ 18.616014] tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
[ 18.616019] tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload...

[ 32.072008] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok

I can scan without problems as you can see from the attached file, I can even tune fine:

holden@holden-desktop:~$ tzap "RaiUno"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/home/holden/.tzap/channels.conf'

status 1f | signal b8b8 | snr ffff | ber 00000004 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

but when I watch a program with mplayer I still get lots of errors:

holden@holden-desktop:~$ mplayer dvb://RaiUno -cache 2000 -cache-min 20
