Comment(by mythtv at dadeos.co.uk):

 Yes, the {{{7232-v1.patch}}} also resolves the problem.

 The problem appears to lie in the comparison that was being perform within
 {{{DTVTunerType::operator!=()}}} reinterpret casting the {{{value}}}
 member to be an unsigned int would be another solution.

 It's slightly inaccurate to complain that gcc is treating the enumeration
 inconsistently. The problems are caused by the fact that {{{0x80000000}}}
 is an unsigned integer and as such is too large to fit within a signed
 integer type. The code is incorrect, not the compiler.

 It is better to compare objects of the same type, which is why I proposed
 the solution I did.
