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. -- Jeff DeFouw
