[linux-dvb] Budget DVB-T problem (TDA10045H)

[Seppo Ingalsuo]

Hi,

This DVB-T card worked with Linux 2.6.9 supplied DVB drivers. I think I 
extracted long time ago the firmware file from TT 2.15 driver package.

DVB: registering frontend 1 (Philips TDA10045H DVB-T)...
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:0a.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem d0c48400 (revision 1, irq 16) (0x13c2,0x100f).
DVB: registering new adapter (TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-CI PCI).

Drivers that came with 2.6.11 (actually 2.6.11-love2 patched for LIRC) 
fail and so does also fresh dvb-kernel CVS. Hotplug firmware upload (I 
used fw from dvb-kernel CVS) seems to work but tuning fails:

Dvb-core frontend debug shows this
