We had the same tuning problems on ARD for a long time. Somebody at itvmedia asked Andrew de Quincey to take a look at this, but as far as I know, he didn't find a solution yet. There are no modifications to the driver, we use the sources from kernel 2.6.11. The "solving" of the tuning problem is actually this sequence: - try FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD / FE_SET_FRONTEND ioctls about 6 times each; - after every FE_SET_FRONTEND, read status 10 times; Between every ioctls, usleep (50000) - this interval I found somewhere in an old libdvb from Metzler brothers, IIRC. We had this problem most often on ARD (11836 MHz on astra), also sometimes on ZDF.vision (11954), but strangely, never on RTL (12188). First tuning operation after starting the machine was the most problematic (status 0x1f on ard after ~40 read_status operations, if we were lucky). We replaced the knc with a wintv nova, this one always reported a nice 0x1f at the first fe_read_status. So definately it was a problem with the card, not some external cause. I hope this helps.
