A fatal bug was just discovered in fwextract.pl from the current snapshot. 
The previous snapshot's fwextract.pl is OK but it is missing a new 
firmware definition - which might be for your driver version.

This is the key problem.  "type = 4" means "absent", in other words that 
it failed to assign *any* tuner implementation.  Until that is fixed 
nothing is going to work.

Which tveeprom did you use?  The next step here is to figure out why the 
mapping isn't there.

I think you're probably OK with the firmware; we need to solve the problem 
with mapping the tuner definition.
