I have a Sky Italy DVB stick with the same chip version. I see that
you get the 0x3f response as well... that should be fixed by the I2C
patch I proposed. However, your stick seems to handle the read
properly and process subsequent I2C commands - something that doesn't
happen with mine. The vendor drivers in linux and windows never seem
issue the USB I2C commands to read from the tuner. I'll test with
other firmware versions to see if something changes.
