Hello, in newer kernel releases multiple read accesses on the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S-Plus are impossible. Thus, the command line femon is for example unable to open the DVB device when VDR is running: $ fuser -v /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: myuser 5073 F.... vdr $ femon using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' opening frontend failed: Device or resource busy I encounterd this issue with kernel 2.6.22.1 and the current Ubuntu feisty kernel (2.6.20.x). Older kernels allowed multiple accesses. However, I can't test which ones, because I replaced my system board some time ago, and older kernels don't contain the necessary drivers for the board.
