Re: [linux-dvb] TDA10086 with Pinnacle 400e tuning broken

[Dirk Brenken <dirk@brenken.org>]

Hi Hartmut,
I've applied your patch against latest v4l-dvb tree and the tuning 
problems with my Technotrend S-1401 (thread "TT-1401 budget card support 
broken since 2.6.24-rc6" on the list) are gone. Thanks!

Best Regards
Dirk
