Add a printk to SetPIDs() (av7110.c) and verify that the pids are set to zero when there is no signal. av7110_before_after_tune() calls SetPIDs(0,0,0,0,0) if the frontend looses signal. AFAIK this code was added to avoid arm crashes...
OK, thanks I'll check that once I have the box up running again.

The 1.3. has a different frontend chip. I tested my Rev. 2.1 Nexus (stv0299-based) without sat signal: It did not crash within several hours. How long does it take in your setup until the arm crashes?
It takes around 4-6 hours. Before that the load goes to around 40-50% if tuned to a sat channel without having signal. It only recovers on reloading the drivers. The tuner of my 1.3 says BSRV2-301A.
So it looks like it could be the revision and together with Andy Carter there are now two people who don't appear have this problem with a Rev 2.1. Good news for everyone thinking about using a full featured card without a signal for decoding. The only thing a Rev 2.1 is lacking is RGB output, right? I suppose a lot of people don't intend to use it anyway?
