I'm sorry, two of the problems described in my mail have nothing to do
with the driver. There's a daemon running that accesses the tuner and
vbi (nxtvepg), which causes problems 1 and 2.

I've failed to notice this because nxtvepg can (normally) detect
tvtime and xawtv and doesn't interfere with them, so I assumed it
might have a general mechanism for detecting if the tv driver is in
use by a different app.

The third problem remains:

Which I assume is a vanilla kernel. I might be wrong about this, too.

I could test with newer drivers or a newer kernel of course, if you
suspect that the problem might not be fixed yet.
