After months of being left on the side burner, I just got round to fixing Digital TV with the ASUS My Cinema and MythTV.
Having finally got the correct source code from ASUS a few months ago, I've gone through it and made it thread safe (get rid of the global locks). So you can use multiple sticks on a single PC. and got rid of most of the shutdown kernel panics.
The final fixes where related to the really bad locking code, that basically was failing too quickly and constantly changing the GI settings. The kludge I've done is to remove the flipping (as all of the HK channels are on GI_945). and this card only really works in HK & China.
This resolve the last issue of waiting for a lock to a signal taking over a minute to milliseconds. - Finally making the card usable in MythTv (as it doesnt really like really slow locking cards..)
Anyway, code is in my repo - I need to start thinking about syncing with v4l-dvb guys and finding out how to rename the files so they are not just overwriting the existing dib3000mc driver.
