Heh... I should have known about that perl script... I saw it in the 
patch, but I totally forgot about it.  Thanks.  Here is what I have so 
far.  Obviously I have to take a closer look at my programming, but I 
think I am done for tonight. ;-)

Attached to this email is a patch containing my changes (for AVerTVHD 
a180) on top of yours.  The nxt200x_set_ts_param inside saa7134-dvb.c is 
totally useless right now, as I haven't looked into methods of 
implementing this yet.

This is what dmesg looks like right now, after running azap on a QAM256 
channel:

^^^^^^^^  This doesnt look like tuner trouble to me, although I believe 
tuner stuff is the most obvious thing that I might have wrong.

Interestingly enough, these lines showed up for the first time:

tuner 3-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (saa7133[0])
tuner 3-0063: chip found @ 0xc6 (saa7133[0])

Those chips were hidden before I applied your v4l-kernel patch to my 
tree!  Looks like your changes to tuner-simple somehow made these chips 
visible?  Hmmm... I have to look into this further.  Now, I should be 
able to tune analog tv using one of those.  (I'll play around tomorrow.)

For the nxt200x_config,  I've tried pll addresses of 0x11 , 0x61 , and 
0x63 ... all three produced the same results.  I need to spend more time 
on it, but I thought I'd give you an update on what I have so far.

The GPIO changes in saa7134-cards.c and the change in saa7134-ts.c were 
based on the original patch from Jean-Francois Thibert.

Thanks.
