the old modules, and got a LOCK right away as expected.

The dmesg output should be the same as what I posted originally.  I
have added the dmesg output from the boot that allows the card to
work as expected.

What I did was create a copy of my /lib/modules/`uname -r`.orig. Then I installed your experimental drivers, and rebooted. I have a
link in /lib/modules, so I can rapidly switch module base and reboot,
to see the results of modules.

In addition, I have attached the output from the azap sessions.

Hi Mark,

You should probably try to use the latest v4l-dvb master repository and see if this problem has been fixed already. If not, you should report it to the video4linux mailinglist. The ivtv-i2c tree also has bleeding edge versions of other drivers, so bugs are not impossible. But it's not something ivtv introduced.

Thanks for testing!

Regards,

I have been playing with this box some more, and I think the issue I reported about not getting a good FE_LOCK is a different problem.
I have 2 different DVB cards (Avermedia A180 & pcHDTV RT5 Lite), and
I think what is happening is that they are getting put in to /dev/dvb/adapter[n] randomly by udev, based upon who-knows-what. The pcHDTV doesn't seem to tune quite as well as the Avermedia card, so depending upon which card I hit, that could determine the results I see.
(We REALLY!!! need some better udev rules for loading and fixing video
card identifiers.)
