cx23885 and Xc3028 frontend type (ATSC) is not compatible with requested tuning type (OFDM)

Dear linux-dvb developers,
I own an HP rebranded Hauppauge Express Card shipped with several HP laptops.
I know you recently added support for this device, however I cannot manage to make it work.
Specifically I cannot use the 'scan' utility to generate a channels.conf file usable with me-tv, thus I cannot use the tuner. I had the same outcomes either with v4l-dvb and patched cx23885 drivers.
Thank you for your support!

here is the output of this tool:

Done.

here are my card specs:
HP Hauppauge WinTv 885
model 77001 rev d4c0 (Model 77xxx Analog/ATSC Hybrid, Xc3028)
tuner: Xceive xc3028 http://www.xceive.com/technology_XC3028.htm
audio tuner: stereo cx23885
decoder: cx23885 http://www.conexant.com/products/entry.jsp?id=393

The card seems correctly recognised, here is my dmesg output:

Aldebaran,

You are using the HVR1500, which is an ATSC-only card. (not to be confused with the HVR1500Q, which also supports QAM)

However, you are attempting to tune OFDM in Paris, but that will not work with an ATSC card.

A better card for that purpose would be the HVR1400, but that card is not yet supported in linux :-/

Sorry for the bad news.

-Mike
