Hi, folks

In my personal repository at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hhackmann/v4l-dvb/
there are 2 changes that affect all DVB-S cards with tda10086
- The reference frequency (crystal) of the tda10086 now is an option of the tda10086_config struct. This is necessary i.e. for cards with the SD1878 tuner.
I adapted the driver for these boards:
- TT Budget-S-1401
- Pinnacle 400e / Technotrend USB
- Lifeview Flydvb Trio
- Medion MD8800
- Lifeview Flydvbs LR300
- Philips Snake
- MD7134 (Bridge 2 - works now)

- The bandwidth of the tda826x baseband filter is now set according to the expected symbol rate. The boards with this tuner now should work with transponders providing a higher symbol rate than usual. This patch was provided by Oliver Endriss.

I tried to make the changes backward compatibe but since i can't test these cards, i need your feedback.

Oliver: there was no signature in your patch. But of corse i mentioned you in the log. I hope that's ok for you.

Have fun
Hartmut

Sorry, I have no hardware to test your patches.

I don't care, but beware that the lawyers @LKML might send you to jail. :D

Hi,

they won't, since we will take all away from them they seem to have :)

Seriously, Oliver, I have tested your patch previously and the highest symbol rate is even only 28000 at the Hotbird crowd, so for me no difference.

Hartmut, didn't care for the clock, _very_ unlikely a problem, but if you prefer to have it tested explicitly, I come back with some report.

Cheers,
Hermann
