The Initial Frequency List for my dvbscan is good, for kaffeine its also
good. Once a scan works, once not.

I'm not :( and that's the Problem. I've scanned a few Channels from
Transponder 1-6 of 76. After this Scan, my Card get No Signal (don't
know why). So I reboot my Linux. After the Reboot I've tested the
scanned Channels and voila, good Picture and Sound, but I can only scan
a few Transponders. Here is the kaffeine Console Output:

OK. If I try a new Scan, he can't scan the first Transponder. The

I don't want to Change, its a cool Card, but I hate it to boot Windows
for TV ;)
Maybe it's an kernel Problem? Maybe Gentoo? I'm using genkernel with
Gentoo-2.6.18 Sources. If its useful, I can give you SSH Access or so
for debugging.
