Hi Guido! Whether people considers it bug or feature, but by default when dvb frontend device is closed, the dvb card is powered off, unless there is dvb_shutdown_timeout which tells how long to wait until poweroff (value zero means no poweroff). Main developers say "no DVB application should ever close a device when it still needs it working." (you can find that on the linux-dvb archives (;)))
