I looks like the em28xx driver calls its i2c clients with V4L2_STD_SECAM
which is V4L2_STD_SECAM_* ored together. The tda9887 driver walks
through its list of video standards and selects the first one which has
any of the SECAM bits set => SECAM-BGH. But you need SECAM-DK to get the
right video polarity and the correct audio subcarrier offset.

The em28xx driver needs to be fixed to distinguish beetween PAL, SECAM
and NTSC variants.


Anything i can do about it? I have no problems patching and rebuilding
till it works.


My cable (and hence antenna) has three PAL channels

Where do these channels originate from (which PAL variant are they)? 

Those channels originate from my cable provider, those channels are not
part of official air distribution so the provider opted to broadcast them
in PAL (for whatever reason), the rest map 1:1 to the ones from the air
(and hence are SECAM). As for which sub-standard.. I don't really know
xawtv (bttv(avermedia) + v4l1) on my other machine were simply told that
it's PAL and everything was fine.

Anything i can do to difure out the particular PAL brand?
