There are some devices with a knob available that reading that register is currently not implemented in the newer driver, netBSD people figured out that interrupts are delivered when a key gets pressed (even on the remote control). This is a construction side at the moment and it should be changed to something appropriate like the netBSD people implemented.

There's one limitation I cut out the drx3975d (might re-add it within the next week to the git repository) I know this one is required for the Pinnacle 330e and an Hauppauge based device.
If you have problems with your device please start a thread on the em28xx ML: http://mcentral.de/pipermail/em28xx/
