Mmm, tested that tuner under windows, it autodetects all 3 sound carrier sub-
standards instantly: PAL-BG, PAL-DK, PAL-I.
In order to test, I connected ancient Panasonic VCR that has a built-in tuner
and can output video to RF-OUT on fixed frequency using PAL standard. Sound
carrier frequency can be choosen using hardware switch BG, DK or I.
So under windows: tuner produces clear audio in BG, DK and I, hardware switch
can be toggled on fly, audio never stops, only a few miliseconds of static on
switch.
Under linux: audio only works if driver is set to use specific audio carrier
sub-standard AND same is selected on PVR. (not to mention extremely unreliable
PAL-DK detection by cx25843, only works 50% of times, but thats another issue)
Either a more generic firmware exists can be uploaded on xc2028.. or several
can be uploaded at once. Any xc2028 gurus out there?
