I'm having a strange problem with tuning and locking some channels on
this card. After a cold boot, it will always lock to any channel, but
after a while (20 minutes or so) it will refuse to lock to two
particular frequencies, while the other 3 are fine. Immediately cold
booting (ACPI power off, wait about 10 seconds, hit the power button)
will result in being able to get a channel lock again. I don't think a
warm boot fixes the problem (I will test next time it refuses to lock).
Well, I think I've got this sorted out now. It seems as though this
particular card drops sensitivity when it warms up, and the signal I was
feeding the card was right on the edge of an acceptable signal. A fan
pointed at the card mitigated the problem enough to keep a stable
signal, and an amplifier has solved the problem entirely.
Now I've realised I need some more capture cards ;-)
