hi andrew >...with kernels -gt 2.6.16 ... yes, i mean 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 ( -gt := "greater than" ) the problem is that if i zap through the stations it seems that there is a unreliable behavior. sometimes a got the station quick and reliable. zapping forward, than back again and it is complete unreliable. sometimes showing up *can't tune to...* also searching for channels: sometimes the complete set and sometimes not.... same behavior with scandvb or kaffeine ! or i get the complete set of stations and at the next moment i'm unable to tune to it.(kaffeine) with kernel 2.6.16 it was much more better. i played with my equipment: antenna turned, etc., etc. i have no idea. nearly daily looking at kernel.org... take a look at: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-August/012423.html this was the next curiosity: firmware exchanged, played with dvb-t, rebooted. all worked fine. next day: same firmware, first boot, no chance,......... ???????????????????????????????????????????? i'm starting thinking about: is my card broken. how can i check this ? ronald _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
