Seems to be the same issue reported here: Skystar 2 Rev. 2.6D receiving no data http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-September/012901.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-September/013028.html Or older threads : Air/SkyStar2 IRQ stop (partial) fix http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-June/002875.html flexcop stops generating interrupts http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-May/001881.html As a circumvention I could use a better cable to avoid DECT influence. But a bad signal due to bad weather may happen any time.
