When I last used the card (which makes my machine unstable for some
reason, so I don't use at present... see PS), I used Kaffeine to scan,
and it found many but not all channels. I intend to use the card with my
working mythtv setup, I do not want to have to have 2 lots of channel
configs (twice the channels) when the frequencies should be the same for
all cards. [I also have a different Freecom stick, which has worked
perfectly for a long time.]
I just want the same tuning to occur on both Freecom sticks, the old and
the new, seems like a sensible thing to do...? At the moment I have to
change the frequency for just the new stick.
Regards,
Benjie Gillam.
PS: Instability issues. I get a lot of the "recv bulk message failed:
-22" type messages (normally -110 seems to be harmless, -75 is a bit
iffy, but generally OK, and -22 means stuff is really messing around...
I have no idea what these numbers really mean, and there are more than
just these 3 displayed... Also, my quote is from memory). Recently after
having my computer on for more than around 24 hours, with both old and
new freecom cards plugged in (plus a Pinnacle 300i PCI and an old WinTV
analog PCI card) the keyboard and mouse would freeze. This would mean
that I could not wake X back up. The kernel was not dead, as by using
magic keys (alt+SysRq+[RSEIUB]) I was able to restart my machine
(fairly) cleanly. I still get this problem now from time to time, though
it is far less often now I have stopped using both Freecom cards. I
wonder if it is related to the usb bulk-recv errors?
Please tell me if I can be of help.

It depends. If you use an initial config file i.e. for scan, it should
be
possible to do this separately for each transponder.
Adding this in the driver is not a good solution: This is country
depending
and the offset is not constant.
A better solution would be either to handle this in the scanning
program
or in an extended offset search in the driver.
I have not heard anything more on this issue?
I have the Freecom stick, and I find that I need to offset the
transponder frequency for the initial scan.
BUT - if I use auto scan (so I don't select a transponder) in the latest
Kaffine it all works fine. Is this a solution for Benjamin?
Thanks,
Tim
