Hmm, I dunno if it'll help; at the moment, I've tried to make it have exactly the same behaviour, but with the nastier bits sorted, and a fast scan mode added. I've not used a grundig 29504-401 card for ages now; I do seem to remember that the tda10045 ones gave us a big step up in reliability, but whether thats a linux driver issue, or just the hardware itself, I don't know. Do you have the same problem under windows? Thats easiest way to determine where the problem lies. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
