Hi Antti,

I have the feeling, that you spending your time for nothing - and that 
this is my fault.

Have you ever tried to use the Nova-T 500 in Windows with the same 
intensity as it is done by MythTV and/or VDR (in EPG-scan and 
channel-scan mode)? I think you will see the problem also - even though 
not 100% sure due to differences in the USB-transfer-stack.

However debugging the usblog to get i2c-messages is not really useful, 
because the demod-driver for LinuxTV and Windows is coming from the exact 
same source.

On the other hand I can confirm that there are some problem with this 
device when it is really stressed. Strangly enough it is only  the case 
with exactly this device (in combination with the MT2060-tuner). Newer 
Dual devices (like from Pinnacle) haven't got the problems. 

Was the disconnect still related to a "babble" using the bigger buffers? 
If so, try to increase the buffer again to 64KB. Or try to reduce it to 
1KB (or 512Byte) and at the same increase the number of URBs to 50.

Patrick.
