Hello, I have the same problem with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR card (bt878 with radio).
Since 2.6.39.x radio is broken => No Frequency range : v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --all -L kernel 2.6.32.x: ---------------- Driver Info (not using libv4l2): Driver name : bttv Card type : BT878 radio (Hauppauge WinTV PV Bus info : PCI:0000:02:0a.0 Driver version: 0.9.18 Capabilities : 0x00010000 Tuner Video input : 0 (Radio: ok) Audio input : 0 (Radio) Frequency: 0 (0.000000 MHz) Tuner: Name : Radio Capabilities : 62.5 Hz stereo Frequency range : 65.0 MHz - 108.0 MHz Signal strength/AFC : 13%/0 Current audio mode : stereo Available subchannels: mono mute (bool) : default=0 value=1 kernel 2.6.38.x: ---------------- Driver Info (not using libv4l2): Driver name : bttv Card type : BT878 radio (Hauppauge WinTV PV Bus info : PCI:0000:02:0a.0 Driver version: 0.9.18 Capabilities : 0x00010000 Tuner Video input : 0 (Radio: ok) Audio input : 0 (Radio) Frequency: 0 (0.000000 MHz) Tuner: Name : Radio Capabilities : 62.5 Hz stereo Frequency range : 65.0 MHz - 108.0 MHz Signal strength/AFC : 0%/0 Current audio mode : stereo Available subchannels: mono mute (bool) : default=0 value=1 kernel 3.0.x: ---------------- Driver Info (not using libv4l2): Driver name : bttv Card type : BT878 radio (Hauppauge WinTV PV Bus info : PCI:0000:02:0a.0 Driver version: 0.9.18 Capabilities : 0x00010000 Tuner Video input : 0 (Radio: ok) Audio input : 0 (Radio) Frequency: 0 (0.000000 MHz) Tuner: Name : Radio Capabilities : 62.5 kHz Frequency range : 0.0 MHz - 0.0 MHz Signal strength/AFC : 0%/0 Current audio mode : mono Available subchannels: mute (bool) : default=0 value=1 3.2: ----- Driver Info (not using libv4l2): Driver name : bttv Card type : BT878 radio (Hauppauge WinTV PV Bus info : PCI:0000:02:0a.0 Driver version: 3.2.27 Capabilities : 0x00010000 Tuner Video input : 0 (Radio: ok) Audio input : 0 (Radio) Frequency: 0 (0.000000 MHz) Tuner: Name : Radio Capabilities : 62.5 kHz Frequency range : 0.0 MHz - 0.0 MHz Signal strength/AFC : 0%/0 Current audio mode : mono Available subchannels: mute (bool) : default=0 value=1 I will test it with the quantal kernel (3.5.x) too, which is also available in proposed under precise. Udo Steinberg bisected the commit: Link and message: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/11/257 I've bisected the problem. The commit that breaks things is: commit cbde689823776d187ba1b307a171625dbc02dd4f Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mche...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Feb 4 10:42:09 2011 -0300 [media] tuner-core: Better implement standby mode In the past, T_STANDBY were used on devices with a separate radio tuner to mark a tuner that were disabled. With the time, it got newer meanings. Also, due to a bug at the logic, the driver might incorrectly return T_STANDBY to userspace. So, instead of keeping the abuse, just use a boolean for storing such information. We can't remove T_STANDBY yet, as this is used on two other drivers. A latter patch will address its usage outside tuner-core.
