Re: [linux-dvb] Compro U80 Nearly there???

[Jan Hoogenraad <jan-conceptronic@hoogenraad.net>]

Please see if there is more information on the tuner in the logging with 
debugging switched on:

	sudo modprobe -r dvb-usb-rtl2831u
	sudo modprobe dvb-usb-rtl2831u debug=1

The ~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2 has two tuners hard-coded in the driver (no 
separation of back-end and front-end), and logs the interactions with 
those tuners in debug mode.

I maintain the wiki with info on the driver:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Rtl2831_devices

Please also try the new driver (alas with no IR remote support) from
~anttip/rtl2831u
