[linux-dvb] DVT-T premium Alps_tdlb7 tuning problems

[Tomas Sävenstedt <tomas@ladata.se>]

Hi,
Tried this last week:
When I upgraded my computer from SuSE 8.1 to 9.2 (kernel 2.6.8) the driver
frontend don´t work anymore!
I have copied the firmware file SC_main.mc to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
and renamed it to dvb-fe-tdlb7-2.16.fw.
The file dvb-ttpci-01.fw (rev 261c) is also there.
The driver load as follows:
modprobe dvb-ttpci
modprobe alps_tdlb7

From what I can see, it looks alright but....
When I start VDR it does't tune to the selected station anymore (free or
not):

I can use the OSD and replay recording, so MPEG seems to works OK,
but when I start Kdr (or Xawtv) to view the picture the system hangs from
time to time.
(another problem)

I have also tried dvbscan with the same negative result.
