Hi all,
I've a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000
(http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_hvr4000.html
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000), and i
use it mainly for DVB-T through vlc and kaffeine in a Gentoo x86_64
and x86 box. The first one is a bit faster in tuning but both have a
problem: if i'm watching something i can't change channel directly
without stopping the one i'm watching. This also happens with a tzap's
based script (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_reception_quality)
which tests signal quality.
So i think it is a driver problem (i'm using kernel's one):

The only strange thing is about "tuner-simple 1-0061: couldn't set

warning.

Thanks for the help.
