<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A few weeks ago you made the following response re
a problem with the usb DigiTV tuner, as noted below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just installed a recent distro using the
2.6.20 kernel, and the problem still persists. Can you give me any idea when
these patched will be included in a release kernel?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<LI><FONT face=Arial>> Hello,</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> </FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> I had my digitv up and running fine in Fedora core 5
(using a 2.6.17 kernel). I</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> recently upgraded to fedora core 6 (2.6.18) and
since doing this my device has</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> stopped working properly. Initialisation etc appears
fine but the device will not</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> tune. Tuning process itself seems ok. No access
errors or anything like that</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> however the signal strength is zero all the way. The
device is fine (still works</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> in windows). I checked out the latest mercurial and
it didn't help. Any help</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> would be appreciated.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>> Mine is the older Nxt6000 demodulator not the
zarlink one.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Edit nxt6000.c</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Go to ~line 467 and add this line:</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>if (fe->ops.tuner_ops.set_params) {</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>+ if (fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl)
fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 1);</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>fe->ops.tuner_ops.set_params(fe, param);</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>if (fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl)
fe->ops.i2c_gate_ctrl(fe, 0);</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>}</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial></FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Thanks to Alex Woods for fixing this... This will be
merged into the master repository soon.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>( i will also see to it that the -stable kernels get
updated with this patch )</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial>Good Luck,</FONT></LI>
