    The problem when I was developing the driver the TDA10045H that card is that 
    I'm in the UK, which is UHF only, so I wasn't able to test VHF at all.
    
    Has anyone else managed to get VHF going on a TDA10045H based card?

Andrew,
  Yes.  I can report four TDA10045H based cards currently tuned to 226.5,
177.5, 191.625 and 219.5 MHz respectively.  Specifically, at device
driver module probe time, I see messages of the form:

  ...
  DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T  PCI).
  PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:09.0
  tda10045h: Detected Philips TDM1316L tuner.
  DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Philips TDA10045H)...
  ...

(And there is a fifth card tuned to 571.5 MHz, but that's UHF.)

They all work very well thanks to your work and to that of all
the Linux DVB people.

Regards,
bruce.
