How can a specific service bitrate cause the disconnect since the device (and its driver) passes the complete TS to the software demux in the kernel? Even if the service has a variable bitrate inside the TS, the TS bitrate remains constant.
 
I experience the same problems with a custom application (not MythTV, Kaffeine, or any TV watching software). My application always reads the complete TS:
    struct dmx_pes_filter_params filter;
    ...
    filter.pid = 0x2000;                // Means "all PID's"
    filter.input = DMX_IN_FRONTEND;     // Read from frontend device
    filter.output = DMX_OUT_TS_TAP;     // Redirect TS packets to DVR device
    filter.pes_type = DMX_PES_OTHER;    // Any type of PES
    filter.flags = DMX_IMMEDIATE_START; // Start capture immediately
    ioctl (demux_fd, DMX_SET_PES_FILTER, &filter);
    ....
The DTTV TS have all a constant bitrate, although not the same for all TS (depends on FEC).

Hi,

That doesn´t by any chance happen to be channels with high bitrate ?

Hi Henrik,

I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem is related to either reception or the content that is being passed down on a particular channel at a particular time.  I've noticed that attempting to record some of the same shows each week cause the card to disconnect (on one of my favourite shows too.. grrr).

This is totally unproven, but I have a suspicion that it's related.

Hi,

I´m running 2.6.22.1 (x86_64)

I upgraded the kernel  2007-07-16 and haven´t had a disconnect since, until 2007-09-20.
I have been running the kernel source drivers until 2007-09-05 when I upgraded to the lates HG and the dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw
firmware. Suffering the disconnects on the 20 I upgraded firmware to dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw  but suffered to disconnects again the 21.

Nothing has changed in the system the days prior to the disconnects, here is what has changed lately.

Fall is here, colder and wetter outside, reception may have been changed.
Slightly more uptime on the machine, instead off just waking up and recording it might have been on a few hours and running playbacks or
just sitting there instead of just waking up and recording.

I realy thought I had this problem behind me, is there any dual dvb-t card for pci or pci-e that is flawless in linux?

Mythlog is ugly, but points at it being reception based.

I have _a lot_ of

That hasn´t occured earlier in the log it records two channels for ~30 minutes before disconnecting, I strongly suspect that recording on both
tuners paired with bad reception? has triggered the disconnects.

So what´s more needed in the logs?
