[pvrusb2] HVR-1900 dvb-t problems

I did some tests on loading the firmware dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw.
I used the firmware downloaded from
http://tw1965.myweb.hinet.net/Linux/firmware.tar.gz.
The upload of the firmware is required, if not already loaded into the
HVR-1900, when an application DVB-T is launched.
This is the output of dmesg:
tda10048_firmware_upload: waiting for firmware upload
(dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw)...
usb 1-4.1: firmware: requesting dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw
tda10048_firmware_upload: firmware read 24878 bytes.
tda10048_firmware_upload: firmware uploading
tda10048_firmware_upload: firmware uploaded
In my version of the HVR-1900 73219 LF REV D1F5 after loading the firmware
dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw DVB-T still does not work.
I followed the suggestions of Leonardo Muffatti (post
http://www.isely.net/pipermail/pvrusb2/2010-February/002729.html) I thank
very much for sending me the necessary changes in sources of V4L.
With the changes of Leonardo now dvb-t works.
Leonardo also sent me his version of the firmware dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw
different from those found on the web.
I tried both firmware. It seems to me, but it could be a subjective feeling,
that with the firmware of Leonardo the video is more smooth.
Thank to Aljaž, Leonardo and Mike for their cooperation.
