Package: dvbstream
Version: 0.6+cvs20060501-2
Severity: normal

dvbstream v0.6 is giving up too early in trying to find a signal; maybe
in better conditions this is ok, but with my older card this is a
regression and makes it not work for me at all.

Note: I had to backport the package to sarge to make it run on the
machine with the DVB-T card in it.

dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004
Released under the GPL.
Latest version available from http://www.linuxstb.org/

While the old version from sarge says:

.... and outputs the stream. Sometimes it needs up to about 10 iterations
to arrive at the FE_HAS_SIGNAL state, though this seems to have improved
with newer kernels.

According to http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/WinTV-NOVA-T_PCI taking
some time for tuning is perfectly normal for this card.
Once tuned, reception is ok.
