I am quite unhappy about the performance of my Twinhan Cab/CI 2031 DVB-C
cards.
Besides the still unresolved issue of 'tuning needed twice', I have
noticed that in app. 1 out of each 10 times,
/dev/dvb/adapterX/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adapterX/ca0 appear to be
missing after boot / modprobe. In those cases only
/dev/dvb/adapterX/{net,dvr,demux}0 are present.
I have 2 of these Twinhan Cab/CI 2031 cards in my machine; it happens
sometimes on the one card, sometimes on the other card. After reboot the
problem is fixed, but this is very annoying of course.
A dmesg extract of such an event, where /dev/dvb/adapter0 fails in the
described way, is attached to this email, below.
Does anyone have the same experiences?
Is this a known issue with the card, or perhaps with the driver?
My KNC1-card + CI does not seem to have this problem.
