Re: [linux-dvb] Problem with Kworld ATSC-110

[Brendan Shanks <pip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think there must have been a hardware change with the Kworld card  
(without a corresponding change in the PCI ID or similar). I bought a  
ATSC-110 in October, and used it with 2.6.17 for both analog and QAM-- 
analog on top connector, QAM on bottom. With a splitter and mess of  
cables, it worked quite well with MythTV and tvtime. The card stopped  
working in December (i2c errors when tuning), so I RMAd it. I got the  
replacement last week, and analog doesn't work on either input. QAM  
works fine though, on the bottom connector. The kernel patch had no  
effect on analog, but it switched QAM to the top input.

Analog does work with dscaler in XP x64, so the hardware is working.  
I don't know if the tuner chip got a revision which is causing this  
problem; the packaging did change slightly. My new card did come with  
a newer version of BeyondTV, and plastic caps on the RF connectors  
(to keep dust out).
