I have the UK PAL version of the Hauppauge card, but I don't
have the documentation to get it working.  I e-mailed Brooktree
a few days ago but haven't had a response yet.

I guess that what needs to be done is:

(1) add the METEORSFMT/METEOR_FMT_PAL ioctl.  Can someone tell me
what the right value to use in "bt848->iform |= x" is?  x=2 or
x=3?  Presumably the other one is SECAM?

(2) add the UK/European frequencies (easy, but I don't know if there
is a standard numbering for them.  We only use channel numbers 21-69
here).

(3) the tuner.  The tuner in my card is not recognised by the driver.
It's labelled (if I pull the Hauppauge sticker off) "Front end
4062 FY5 Temic 3x8 501".  4062 seems to be the model number.  I have
just e-mailed Temic to ask for details, but if anyone else has them
please let me know.
