Hi,

I've recently bought Hauppage nova-500-td for my mythtv backend. The
card works mostly fine, but every now and then it looks like it
doesn't tune to the channel properly (I think) - video and sound
remain garbled for prolonged periods of time (2-5 minutes), but
ultimately recover. This usually happens when the other tuner on the
card is tuned to the same mux. Signal quality I get is around 70% and
about 2.5dB of signal to noise (as reported by mythtv), but when the
issue occurs regardless of what the numbers show.

I'm not entirely sure if that's a hardware or software issue (have no
windows based pc to try with), but I already got the the card replaced
once, so if it's hardware it might be something else then the card
itself. I know that some other people reported issues as well as
suggested patches, but I haven't found anything conclusive. Currently
I run the hg tip version of v4l-dvb with 2.6.32 kernel on gentoo.

I would like to know if anyone else experienced something similar
issues, and probably the more important part -how can I help to
troubleshoot and debug the problem?

kind regards
Pshem
