Just two more observations: 1) When the standard driver code is used (no inversion changes during retuning), after lost lock and unsuccessfull retuning the card gets into state, that even the next normal full tuning takes long time - i.e. the frontend is not able to tune at first attempt as usual (freq.offset=0, inversion=0), but must cycle through complete zigzag and only tunes when it returns to the freq.offset=0 and inversion transitions from 1 to 0. 2) The application must always use INVERSION AUTO, if retuning should succeed. In other words, if you have INVERSION OFF in your .dvbrc (or hardcoded in the application), retuning never happens. I have no idea why the transition from 1 to 0 helps, maybe changing of inversion resets some other internal parameters of STV 299B and the problem is in fact somewhere else (bad initialization settings or so). With kind regards, M.
