Hi,

Does anyone know if this is a linux only issue, or is it present in windows to ?
If it´s broken in windows to it´s probably a dead end =(

Otherwise I think atleast one nova-t 500 owner on this list had contacts with the linux-usb list, don´t know
if it yielded anything but iirc the problem is usb related not dvb driver related. Does any pursue this or did it just die at not dvb related ?

Hi there,

Many people, including myself have tried to investigate the problem with little success.   My card is now running pretty stable ... it might crash once every 2-3 weeks.

I've noticed that it seemed to crash more often with bad reception (poor signal strength/quality).  I've improved my antenna setup, so maybe this is what improved things for me.

Others have said that scanning the program guide from EIT causes problems ... so disabling this might improve things.  I've never used this so can't say.

The DVB patches recently provided should stop the kernel oopsen caused by disconnects, but won't fix the underlying problem.   I don't know if anyone has any ideas about fixing the underlying problem.

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks for your replies and I will try the latest software as soon as I
get chance to set up a dev environment.

I really hate to sound like a whiny ungrateful user, but how soon in the
future is the bad behaviour likely to change? When I was sold the Nova-T
500 I was told it was supported in the latest kernel and suitable for
MythTV. If that means "You can load the module but it disconnects
randomly and you have to restart" then the hardware isn't fit for
purpose and I should be able to return the card.

Plus, I am going away on holiday in a few weeks time and don't want to
miss Doctor Who ;)

Thanks for any help you can give!

Mike
