Re: PixelView PlayTV MPEG2/TVision TVF5533MF Tuner

[Gustavo De Nardin <nardin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hello.

  Had any progress with this card?

  Opening the tuner cover I could see a reference for "TNF8533", which I 
suppose is the tuner model. YMEC has no reference for it in their website 
(that I could find..).

  I had the same problem with the I2C tuner address detection (did not check 
the electronics to discover it, just Windows registry for the Telsignal 
drivers :)). I "solved" the problem in FreeBSD by altering the probing order, 
then it is correctly detected at C2 when first probed there, else it was 
detected at C0, dunno why... Couldn't figure how to properly get the same 
effect in Linux 2.6 (i.e. preserve all probing but trying the correct/likely 
one first).

  The TV tuner that works for me on FreeBSD is referred as ALPS_TSBH1 in 
bktr(4)<http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/bktr.4.html>, not a "Philips" one. 
I still don't have TV sound nor tried messing much with FM, just taking a 
break of it for a while. Maybe the Linux bttv drivers work fully, as they 
seem to have more hardware support.

  I'd like to have the tuner specs/datasheet, if you get them and feel like 
and is allowed to send them over. :) (most other components seem to have 
publicly available datasheets)
