Hi. I have two DVB cards which behave a bit differently when they lose lock. One will regain lock automatically (eg if you unplug the antenna and then reconnect it); the other must be retuned by user-space software before it will relock.
The Avermedia DVB-T card (dvb-bt8xx + sp887x) will regain lock by itself. The DPANDA.com.au card (budget-ci + tda1004x) will not regain lock until retuned. Is this a hardware difference, or a driver difference? The relock behaviour is more helpful. For reasons I don't understand, my dpanda card lost lock a couple of times tonight while recording with MythTV, and unfortunately then I get nothing until the next channel change (or Myth restart). OTOH if user space is meant to monitor and initiate a retune, I'll work on a patch for Myth... Thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
