[linux-dvb] TT-1500 / TDA10046

[Nicholas Fearnley]

I have removed the jumper on the card that provides the amp (there is  
only one jumper).

But as to whether or not the antenna still shorts I'm not sure.  Can  
I check with a multimeter?

I read about turning off the amp (I2C 0x65) which means little to  
me!  It's on the wiki.
