Which card model do you have ?

Your card has tuning problems due to i2c communication problems. This
has bee fixed with the bttv patch i posted a while back.. Please do test
it out whether it solves your communication problems..
This patch can be applied against the bttv in 2.6.11.x.
Changelog:
Attached is a patch to bttv which fixes the following problems.
Affected cards and problems:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o VP-1020 (200103A) Tuning problems, device detection.
o VP-1020 (DST-MOT) Errors during tuning, device detection fails in a while.
o VP-1030 (DST-CI) Tuning sometimes fails after CI commands.
o VP-2031 (DCT-CI) Tuning problems
The timeout happens before the actual timeout occured in the MCU
on the board, and hence the problems.
Changes: (bttv-i2c.diff)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Changed the custom wait queue to wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
- Suggestion by Johannes Stezenbach.
o Fixed the wait queue timeout problem
- This fixes the timeout problem on various cards.
- This problem was visible as many
* Cannot tune to channels, when signal levels are very low.
* app_info does not work in some conditions for CI based cards
- Smaller values worked good for newer cards, but the older cards
suffered, settled down to the worst case values that could happen in any
eventuality.
Please do test it out and let know which card model you have also..
