Hi Hartmut and Hermann,

a) The pinnacle 310i finds everything?
    It has the same chipset, but an almost perfectly handled tuner chip...
    This means that your initial config file is ok...

Answer - Yes, the non-working remote (and constant unknown key messages) is all that is
wrong with the pinnacle 310i.
I tested it for your new tda8290 tda8275 patches - didn't I send you the results?
It works fine!

b) Does this mean that in case 4, all other channels are found?

Answer - In linux, if start dvb-t first, never scans SBS
	- yes all other channels are viewable/scannable.

c) Case 5: This finds everything?

Answer - In linux, if start analog tv first, stop, then start dvb-t, scan 
finds SBS
	- yes all channels are viewable/scannable.

d) What happens if you use the scan data of the pinnacle card?
    Does it tune SBS? Does it just take more time to stabilize?
    This can be understood.

Answer - the same answer applies as for b) and c)

e) Just to be sure: did you clarify the open point with .antenna_switch
    (i think so)

Answer - yes that was me being over-enthusiastic - made no difference
as you pointed out.


OK, this modification has achieved, I think success. I can now view/scan 
all channels
in analog tv or dvb-t in either order.
That is, I now don't have to start analog tv first, before dvb-t will start.

In saa7134- cards.c - no change.

In saa7134-dvb.c:

Remove this:
------------------------------------
static struct tda1004x_config kworld_dvb_t_210_config = {
    .demod_address = 0x08,
    .invert        = 1,
    .invert_oclk   = 0,
    .xtal_freq     = TDA10046_XTAL_16M,
    .agc_config    = TDA10046_AGC_TDA827X,
    .gpio_config   = TDA10046_GP11_I,
    .if_freq       = TDA10046_FREQ_045,
    .i2c_gate      = 0x4b,
    .tuner_address = 0x61,
    .antenna_switch= 1,
    .request_firmware = philips_tda1004x_request_firmware
};
------------------------------

Add this:

------------------------------
static int kw210_tuner_init(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
{
    struct saa7134_dev *dev = fe->dvb->priv;
    philips_tda827x_tuner_init(fe);
    /* route TDA8275a AGC input to the channel decoder */
    saa7134_set_gpio(dev, 22, 1);
    return 0;
}

static int kw210_tuner_sleep(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
{
    struct saa7134_dev *dev = fe->dvb->priv;
    /* route TDA8275a AGC input to the analog IF chip*/
    saa7134_set_gpio(dev, 22, 0);
    philips_tda827x_tuner_sleep(fe);
    return 0;
}

static struct tda827x_config kw210_cfg = {
    .tuner_callback = saa7134_tuner_callback,
    .init = kw210_tuner_init,
    .sleep = kw210_tuner_sleep,
    .config = 0
};

static struct tda1004x_config kworld_dvb_t_210_config = {
    .demod_address = 0x08,
    .invert        = 1,
    .invert_oclk   = 0,
    .xtal_freq     = TDA10046_XTAL_16M,
    .agc_config    = TDA10046_AGC_TDA827X,
    .gpio_config   = TDA10046_GP11_I,
    .if_freq       = TDA10046_FREQ_045,
    .tuner_address = 0x61,
    .request_firmware = philips_tda1004x_request_firmware
};
----------------------------

Change this:

    case SAA7134_BOARD_KWORLD_DVBT_210:
        dev->dvb.frontend = dvb_attach(tda10046_attach, 
&kworld_dvb_t_210_config, &dev->i2c_adap);
        if (dev->dvb.frontend) {
            if (dvb_attach(tda827x_attach,dev->dvb.frontend,
                   kworld_dvb_t_210_config.tuner_address, &dev->i2c_adap,
                                &kw210_cfg) == NULL) {
                wprintk("no tda827x tuner found at addr: %02x\n",
                    kworld_dvb_t_210_config.tuner_address);
            }
        }
        break;
---------------------------------------------

However, I need you to explain something for me.

There is no difference if I use this:

    saa7134_set_gpio(dev, 22, 1);

or this:

    saa7134_set_gpio(dev, 21, 1);

I await your guidance, meanwhile I shall apply my
modification to enable the remote and ensure it
doesn't have any effect.

Many thanks to you both,

Regards,
Tim
