Hi Hartmut,
OK, I'll send you this info that I think I have worked out so far:

.gpiomask = 1 << 21, is equivalent to:
GPIO 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
gpiomask 0x00200000 = 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

from syslog:

Seems to be:
GPIO22 = 1 for DVB-T
GPIO22 = 0 for analog-tv

What then for radio? Perhaps GPIO21 is radio?
Try this:
.gpiomask = 0 << 22
GPIO 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
gpiomask 0x00000000 = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Should give start with analog-tv = on; radio =off
.gpio = 0x00200000, for radio on (GPIO21 = 1)
Result:
No radio, but dvb-t, analog-tv is ok.

My guess is that GPIO22 = 1 (dvb-t); = 0 (analog-tv, default)
GPIO21 = 0 or 1 for radio
But you would have to switch antenna from TV to radio via demux first?
I can't see where/how to do that.

It seems as if the gpiomask should be applied to GPIO22? Then how to 
start radio?

Tim
