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

[Brendan Shanks <pip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I swear this is my last message to this list today--just figured I'd  
say that the patch to saa7134-dvb enabled both QAM and analog on the  
top input! This line is enabled:

buf[3] &= ~0x08;

This means that I don't need to buy another crummy coax splitter-- 
thanks!
