Hm, I never heard of that kind of problem. With some versions of the frontend code I had problems during live view with my DVB-C cards, but they are fixed now. Also, since you say recordings are OK the frontend cannot be the problem. How often do the glitches happen? On which satellites/tranponders/services? > Other users report various diseqc problems wich i can't reproduce > because i have any diseqc equipment. There are problems for the ves1x93 frontend, where the DiSEqC signals are generated in the av7110 firmware. The timing is too inaccurate, especially with hw_sections=1. The default for hw_sections is now 0 anyway, because the firmware does not perform crc checks. > As i said, from my point of view the latest changes are quite > confusing.

Well, I have to admit the linuxtv.org website is a mess :-( But I'm sure it was announce on the list that "DVB" CVS is dead, and only dvb-kernel will be maintained.
