Hi gentle DVB folk.
I have a flyvideo hybrid DVB card in my shiny new linux box.
It shows up thus in lspci...
05:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135
Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d0)
Subsystem: Animation Technologies Inc.: Unknown device 3306
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 217
Memory at f9100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
modules loaded are:
saa7134_dvb, dvb_pll, saa7134, tda1004x
I am experiencing what I can only describe as 'parameter drift' on the
card. I tune up the card nicely and watch TV for a while. Machine gets
left on. By the next day, the card is unable to achieve tuning lock. I
unload and reload the modules, and hey presto - we're working again.
This problem shows up when using DVB. I havn't tried FM radio or
Analogue TV.
Any ideas what might be going on here?
cheers,
Mark.

This can be a temperature problem. The first generation of the tuners on
this card has an enormous power consumption. How old is the driver you are
using?
In the last months, i changed the driver to:
- put unused components to standby mode
- make the dvb-t channel decoder more tolerant to xtal frequency offsets.
so can you please get a recent driver from www.linuxtv.org and retry?
If you have a recent driver can you try to ensure that there is some
air flow around the card (i.e. by freeing the PCI slots close to it)?
Best regards
Hartmut
