[linux-dvb] Re: AverTV DVB-T not working under Kernel 2.6.6

[Martin Kenny <marty@kennymoy.com.au>]

Hi Andrew,

I won't get a chance to play with the dvb_override_tune_delay parameter 
until at least tomorrow (it's after midnight here), but looking at the 
code in dvb_frontend.c, where the FE_GET_TUNE_SETTINGS ioctl is called, 
if it's not implemented by the frontend driver, then the value has just 
been initialized to 0. Given that 0 was working, pre 2.6.6, for people 
with the AverTV cards, it sounds as though a good value for min_delay_ms 
in sp887x.c would be 0.

Cheers,
Marty.
