Tim, for what I remember so far you finally had composite working and
the tuner was initialized correctly, but no lock on any signal.

I don't have new ideas on it, but there is nothing much left than
antenna input switching in the first place, which should report lock on
signal if correct and later vmux and amux investigations and DVB-T.

Maybe you should send some "dmesg" again with tuner debug=1 and saa7134
audio_debug=1 and i2c_debug=1 to make the questions again visible for
those interested.

Try everything on every antenna input, radio, analog-tv and later dvb-t
with some recent code and if the tuner still is responsive, it should be
set either to radio/dvb-t or analog-tv by default and lock, at least I'm
not aware that there is nothing at all without special treatment.

There could be one more problem. If you have only FreeToAir analog-tv
reception, the signal might be too weak to get a lock reported,
nevertheless with correct vmux you would have a decent picture.

Might need some help of more testers under such different conditions.

Greetings,
Hermann
