#13 Cannot tune PAL-B on new PVR350 tuner (Microtune 4049 FM5)

[Anonymous]

The release version of ivtv 0.1.9 doesn't support this
tuner type (type=45).

The current developer releases do support this tuner,
but don't appear to offer any way to switch between
the various TV standards that this tuner supports. The
tuner (and card) support PAL D/K, PAL I, SECAM and PAL
B/G. But regardless (apparently) of any parameters
passed to ivtv or it's associated modules, PAL D/K is
always chosen. Therefore all the card generates for a
PAL-B user (me!) is static. Would imagine that SECAM
and PAL-I users have a similar problem as well as other
PAL-B users.

Have tested with an older PVR350 which has a type 28
(PAL B/G only) tuner in the same machine which works
perfectly.

There is a small bug in the code that does a loop and test
of the tuner capability. The loop detects the various tuner
types including pal b, but only displays the last tuner
capability detected. Setting the MODULE_PARAMS ivtv_std=2
allows pal b to be selected.
