No problems with a Nexus-S Rev 2.1 (BSRU6 tuner, stv0299).
Tested with kernel 2.6.12 + dvb-kernel CVS + vdr 1.3.30.
Nevertheless, if fe->inversion is set to the wrong value, recovery will
fail because the frontend thread will use this value for recovery...
@Marian:
Which kernel version, which application software did you use?
Could you tell us the value of fe->inversion?
