It's not exactly opening /dev/video - that was my expression because it always happened when I started the video app. The real cause was the automute setting. With the code in your patch the mute setting controls the relay: mute -> relay on, unmute -> relay off. The app I'm using turns automute on, so at the moment a pictures was detected on video-in the relay was turned off and DVB reception stopped. With my patch, the bttv driver no longer controls the relay. It's then managed by the dvb-driver. When the tuner is initialised the relay is turn on and when the tuner is sent to sleep the relay is turned off. The turn off delay is controlled by the dvb_shutdown_ timeout.
