I have a Nova-S-CI too (budget-ci & stv0299) and I've seen some weird
problems with lock loss on a specific transponder (Thor 1.0?W, 11 229
MHz, H polarity) but I'm not sure if it is related to this issue. Maybe
it has something to do with the polarity since most of the other
transponders (which work fine) use V polarity...?
Symptoms are: good lock at first but then the lock is lost after a
couple of seconds up to a few minutes and it doesn't retune
automatically. When this happens it is very reproducable but when I try
again a few hours later everything can be perfectly fine so I don't know
what could be causing it?
I've done some quick testing with the patch and it doesn't seem to make
any difference for me (neither better nor worse).
This happened just now:
zapping to 176 'Discovery':
sat 0, frequency = 11229 MHz H, symbolrate 24500000, vpid = 0x0384, apid
= 0x0385
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

This is with vanilla Linux 2.6.13 + Marian's patch.
