[linux-dvb] Testers requested for Freecom / Conceptronic / Realtek / haihua /Videomate / Vestel DVB-T cards with RTL2831U

[Jan Hoogenraad]

There are new drivers posted for the Freecom / Conceptronic / Realtek
cards on:
     http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2

		PLEASE FETCH AND TEST THIS VERSION

The code as gotten from Realtek, and found on the old link, does not
compile with other current v4l sources anymore. Please stiop using:
     http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/rtl2831

This code is recently synchronised with the mail v4l line, and needs
testing. Compared to the original code, a switch for the IR type is
added. It can now be selected using modprobe. For example if you need
type 2: unload the automatically loaded driver, and reloca the good codes.

sudo modprobe -r dvb_usb_rtl2831u
sudo modprobe  dvb_usb_rtl2831u ir_protocol=2

I have started a second archive for splitting off the tuner code.
For the mxl5005s tuner, this should be straightforward, as the code
found its way into the mainstream v4l already.

However, I ran into problems with the mt2060 (which is the tuner I own).
In the function  MT2060_LocateIF1 is making this hard.
This function doe some sort of calibration, and there is both internal
data from the tuner required, and input from the demodulator.

I don't see yet how we can put this into the framework of the current
struct dvb_tuner_ops from dev_frontend.h.

I'd appreciate some help from somebody more proficient in splitting drivers.
