<div>>> What it boils down to first of all is the Hauppauge HVR-1600 model</div><div>>> 74591 supported by the cx18 driver?</div><div>></div><div>>In a generic sense, yes all HVR-1600's from 74000-74999 are.</div>

<div>>should certainly be OK. Have you tried those?</div><div><br></div><div>No, haven't tried that. I don't have a convenient comp or svideo source to use. It would involve crawling behind my tv and sorting out 100's of cables.</div>

<div>></div><div>>That's just a guess. You can guess other tuner types and try to see</div><div>>what's best. The list of numbers is in linux/include/media/tuner.h. I</div><div>>suggest you try only NTSC tuners. ;)</div>
<div>></div><div>>The tuner type parameters are in</div><div>>linux/drivers/media/common/tuners/tuner-types.c</div><div>>in case you can find actual data on the TCL MNM05-4 and want to find a</div><div>>similar existing entry.</div>
<div>></div><div>>When/if you find a good match for the analog tuner, then let me know,</div><div>>and I'll get tveeprom.c updated.</div><div>></div><div>>Regards,</div><div>>Andy</div><div>></div>

I'm sure to forget to modprobe the card after a reboot. :)</div>
<div>Actually WTF... I changed line 214 of tveeprom.c to:</div><div> { TUNER_PHILIPS_FM1236_MK3_NO_RADIO, "TCL MFNM05-4"},</div><div>I'll rebuild and try it when I get home. [update] hmm not as simple as that. :(</div>
