I think your problem may be similar to what I had at first. My card (a technotrend dvb-c rev 2.1) woud not lock on to the channels, I usualy had to try several times to get a lock. My problems was fixed by some change in the dvb-kernel drivers, I think some part of the dvb drivers asks the frontend to retune if it doesn't get a lock, anyway after that change I always get a lock on the first try with czap. I don't think this was a frontend problem So I sugest that you upgrade your kernel and try the dvb-kernel drivers, it's woth a try anyway. I had more problems with my card, I had bad signal on some channels, if I moved the card to a different computer the channel with bad signal changed. I bought a better powersupply, a 350W instead of 300W, it looks like that improved the signal a quit bit. Some channels that previously was unwatchable now as zero uncorrectable errors (unc=0 in czap) and better signal. Some channels still have errors occasionally. -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
