Actual kernel does not support the Hauppauge WinTV Nova S SE PCI card 
anymore:

      

I think it is a problem of this changeset http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/358d281e6a3d 
from Patrick Boettcher. The S5H1420 isn't able to understand repeated start conditions. 
The i2c-read code was changed from:

	if ((ret = i2c_transfer (state->i2c, &msg1, 1)) != 1)
		return ret;

	if ((ret = i2c_transfer (state->i2c, &msg2, 1)) != 1)
		return ret;

to:
	if (state->config->repeated_start_workaround) {
		ret = i2c_transfer(state->i2c, msg, 3);
		if (ret != 3)
			return ret;
	} else {
		ret = i2c_transfer(state->i2c, &msg[1], 2);
		if (ret != 2)
			return ret;
	}
    

I think you are right.

Btw, I don't understand Patrick's workaround.

As the tuner does not support repeated start conditions, the solution
is to send two separate messages, as it was before.

Does the attached patch fix the problem?
