Forgot to mention: saa kld does not do tuning at all, tuning is supposed to be done directly on the iic device (e.g. in the backend, also examples in the support directory of the saa source). One possibility to really push the driver beyond analog might be to cont[r]act Rohit. The saa driver has been used in a commercial product. It's not something to easily discard, and probably a pretty nice reference implementation of the traditional 5-CVBS TV card design. I think Rohit just moved on to another job or something but it may be worth trying. Clearly he's very competent (and friendly too). I stopped communicating with him a few months after first starting to integrate saa support into kbtv1, because he stopped answering. Didn't want to be pushy. BTW, it was Rohit who urged me to start using SDL, which indeed is fantastic. Dan
