Problem getting sensible video out of Hauppauge HVR-1100 composite

[Neil Bird <gnome@fnxweb.com>]

   I'm in the UK (PAL), & have a Hauppauge HVR-1100 on Scientific Linux6:

2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.i686
libv4l-0.6.3-2.el6.i686
v4l-utils-0.9.0.git5f24b816-2.el6.i686
ivtv-firmware-20080701-20.2.noarch

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1120 DVB-T/Hybrid [card=156,autodetected]
input: saa7134 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:05:07.0/rc/rc1/input13
rc1: saa7134 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR as 
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:05:07.0/rc/rc1
input: MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (saa7134) as /devices/virtual/input/input14


   (I think that's the relevant firmware)


   I set everything I know of up OK, but when I access /dev/video0 I get 
a garbled pink MPEG file (cat to a file, then mplayer to test).  The 
DVB-T aspect of is works fine (tested using vlc).

   The only logger error I can see that might related is:

kernel: tda18271_write_regs: [2-0060|M] ERROR: idx = 0x25, len = 1, 
i2c_transfer returned: -5
kernel: tda18271_channel_configuration: [2-0060|M] error -5 on line 119
kernel: tda18271_set_analog_params: [2-0060|M] error -5 on line 1050

   .. but I think that may be something else (I have another DVB card 
plugged in).


   I have:

$ v4l2-ctl -I
Video input : 1 (Composite1: ok)

   .. so I think it can see something.  If I unplug the [known working] 
composite feed I get:

$ v4l2-ctl -I
Video input : 1 (Composite1: no hsync lock., no sync lock)


   Lastly:

$ v4l2-ctl --all

   I had done a 'v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=720,height=576' 
previously as that's what I've done on my old Hauppauge PVR-350, but 
don't recall why it was necessary, I was just trying anything I could. 
I'd also done 'v4l2-ctl --set-standard pal'.
