[linux-dvb] Re: High BER's & Glitching with 2.6 kernel, betterwith 2.4 and 1.0.0-pre2 (Nova-T)

[Dave Smith <dave@nobodynet.net>]

Thanks for the suggestions Johannes.  Both of those suggestions worked, so 
using the old tsa5060_set_tv_freq() function from 1.0.0-pre2, I now have 
very good Bit Error Rates whilst running the 2.6.2 kernel and drivers.

So, does this mean it's a fault to my specific card, or to all the 
NOVA-T's with this chipset?

Thanks again,

--Dave
