Right now it's kind of a dirty hack just for my card.  I'm stepping on 
code shared with other cx23885/cx25840 cards and potentially breaking 
them without any way to check.  It needs a few more changes anyway, but 
the breaking would still be a problem.  I can either hope for the best, 
or add extra variables and conditions just for this card and make a 
little mess.
