 Switching to other driver not helps me, so be patient.

 I patched stv0900 and send pull request.

 I've tested it - and for the first sight it seems that it indeed
 solves the problem. Thank you :)

 And about frontend: I think I found a solution which I hope will
 satisfy all of us. I think it would be great if user have
 an alternative option to use stv090x frontend anyway. I mean your
 frontend as default, but a module parameter which enables using
 stv090x instead of stv0900 (enabling what's is inside my patch).
 This will be a flexible solution which shouldn't harm anyone,
 but instead gives an option.

 Igor, Mauro, do you have objections against this solution?
 If you agree, then I'll try to prepare an RFC patch for that.
 Well, I didn't change my mind.
 There is not an option, but splitting efforts in two ways.

An option to switch between them will just double maintenance efforts, as
both ways would needed to be tested. So, I don't think this is the
right way.

The proper long-term solution would be to merge stv090x and stv0900.

Cheers,
Mauro

The patch is changing the frontend from stv0900 to stv090x.
The card now works much more reliable. There is no problem with switching
from DVB-S2 to DVB-S, tunning works flawless.


Igor, can I get your ACK on this patch?

I have 7301, test it myself and see nothing bad with stv0900.
Obviously, I better patch stv0900 then convert the driver to stv090x.
And if you ask something then be prepaired to not be given smth.

Maybe because (now) your frontend has problems with tunning on this card?
I though that references are known for you:
1. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/24573
2. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/25275
3. http://linuxdvb.org.ru/wbb/index.php?page=ThreadthreadID=641

And to be more specific: I am not asking to get rid of your driver,
my patch doesn't touch your stv0900 implementation, it only change the
frontend for one particular card.

 I have 7301, test it myself and see nothing bad with stv0900.
If it is working for you - lucky you! But keep in mind that it it doesn't
mean that it is working for others. Have you tested it with my patch applied?
Besides it is not using your frontend, maybe it just *work*?

 Obviously, I better patch stv0900 then convert the driver to stv090x.
Sure, go ahead... I am only wondering why wasn't you so helpful when I was
trying to contact you and offer debugging help when I discovered the problem
after I started using this card. Your only response was:
I know this issue. Your card is fine.
So now I resolved the problem myself and sent a working solution (tested
by some people - always with good results) and you disagree now.

I'm only hoping that a hardware *usability* will win over an ego!

With all of that vendors I have good relationships.
