moi!
I have also seen this problem with my "fast" machine. It disappeared when I added some sleep to Zarlink zl10535 module. Looks like timing problems... I2C messages targeted to demodulator are sent too fast.

Thx mate works great now! Couldn't have done this on my own.
big thx!

I had the same problem. After some trial and error I found out that the
usb message sometimes fail with a timeout error code in gl861. The
q1010 and zl10353 then logs the error messages. The tuning then fail.

 I have no clue to why the message times out, but if I resend the the
message it always succeed. This makes the device more reliable.

Try the patch (generated agaist http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/megasky)
