I'm definately interested in testing any patch for the DVB-T 1.2. I currently do not have the time to participate in the discussion :-( But in the next week i have spare time for testing. But i want to share briefly my experiences: Complete lockups of the ALPS frontend are very rare for me. If they happen an unload and reload of the dvbtt-pci module fixes the problem (but the frontend module can stay in memory). What happens really often (but without any regularity in it) is that the frontend do not deliver any signal after changing the channel. I can often fix it, by changing back to the previous channel again, wait until the OSD disappears, and then try another time to switch to the desired channel. Which also means that the OSD still works without any signal. I did not tested the composite out ever, because i just watch at the computer. But i use a patched driver for my card, which fixes the problem for me that the frontend takes several seconds to lock. I do not know or tested if this fix also changes anything on the "black screen" problem.
