Apart from the unc anomaly noted above, there has been one other problem. Twice, the following errors appeared in the log: Feb 6 02:44:28 ent kernel: [1083565.117248] saa7164_api_i2c_read() error, ret(2) = 0x13 Feb 6 02:44:28 ent kernel: [1083565.117274] tda18271_read_regs: [2-0060|S] ERROR: i2c_transfer returned: -5 When this happened, I couldn't tune anything and I had to reload the dvb modules to get it working again. I wonder if you have any idea what could be causing this? I was also wondering if it might help to use the latest firmware? I got the drivers from here http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/support_hvr2250.html. Looking at your extract script, it is trivial to get the saa7164 firmware but I've no idea how you calculated the offsets tda10048 firmware. Would you have any pointers on this? Anyway, apart from the problems noted above it is fine. I'm not sure what the criteria is for merging support for this card into the main repository, but I would view it as worthy of merging even with these problems outstanding. Many thanks, Frank.
