480x47 is the sync byte for MPEG-2 transport stream packets.
49Datasheet incorrectly states to use 47 decimal. 188 is the length.
50All DVB compliant frontends output packets with this start code.

55The controls for the mux are GPIO [0,1] for source, and GPIO 2 for muting.

57====== ======== =================================================
58GPIO0  GPIO1
59====== ======== =================================================
60  0        0    TV Audio
61  1        0    FM radio
62  0        1    Line-In
63  1        1    Mono tuner bypass or CD passthru (tuner specific)

66GPIO 16(I believe) is tied to the IR port (if present).
67
68
69From the data sheet:
70
71- Register 24'h20004  PCI Interrupt Status
72
73 - bit [18]  IR_SMP_INT Set when 32 input samples have been collected over
74 - gpio[16] pin into GP_SAMPLE register.
75
76What's missing from the data sheet:
77
78- Setup 4KHz sampling rate (roughly 2x oversampled; good enough for our RC5
79  compat remote)
80- set register 0x35C050 to  0xa80a80
81- enable sampling
82- set register 0x35C054 to 0x5
83- enable the IRQ bit 18 in the interrupt mask register (and
84  provide for a handler)
85
86GP_SAMPLE register is at 0x35C058
87
88Bits are then right shifted into the GP_SAMPLE register at the specified
89rate; you get an interrupt when a full DWORD is received.
90You need to recover the actual RC5 bits out of the (oversampled) IR sensor
91bits. (Hint: look for the 0/1and 1/0 crossings of the RC5 bi-phase data)  An
92actual raw RC5 code will span 2-3 DWORDS, depending on the actual alignment.
93
94I'm pretty sure when no IR signal is present the receiver is always in a
95marking state(1); but stray light, etc can cause intermittent noise values
96as well.  Remember, this is a free running sample of the IR receiver state
97over time, so don't assume any sample starts at any particular place.
