[linux-dvb] Re: tzap not locking on

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

Hi Ben,

I'm a few days behind reading this list, but I don't think anyone's 
answered this yet.

I think you might be helped by a patch I submitted a while back (but I 
think got lost in the noise) for 
linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/sp887x.c. It's probably out of sync 
with CVS (and maybe kernel 2.6.7) right now, but it should be pretty 
easy to apply by hand.

See 
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2004/06-2004/msg00055.html 
for details.

Cheers,
Marty.
