thanks for the help all - the recent patch ('[PATCH 0/7] af9015 dual
tuner and othe fixes from my builds') was applied yesterday (or so i
believe!), and so far it's been perfect! before, the patch, the tuner
would become un-usable after a short timeframe (30-60mins).
i both fixed my issue, and learnt a bit about patching, so that was a
good day :)
fwiw, i used Malcolms' suggestion that he sent me off this ML, which
is as follows:
here is how to patch Ubuntu 11.04
----------------------------------------------------------------
To patch and update check you have the following installed using
terminal.
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install patchutils
sudo apt-get install libdigest-sha1-perl
sudo apt-get install libproc-processtable-perl
find a suitable location in your home directory and run the following
commands.
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build
Now put the 0000.patch in the media_build directory and run the
following command.
patch -d linux -p1 < 0000.patch
make
sudo make install
then reboot
