I've read up on the i2c bus, and started to look into this, but the 
SAA7130/7134 user manual doesn't seem to be available for download on 
their website.  I'll email Philips, but I was wondering if anyone else 
on list had it?  I did have a look at the saa7130/4 code, but there 
didn't seem to be anything obvious in the code to cut the bus speed...  
I'll see if I can get the MT352 docs and have a look at them, and the 
code tomorrow.

Cheers,

Tim.
