I hope this isn't too off topic but I wanted to add that I've found disconnects less problematic using myth-tv if I turn active EIT. It will still collect EIT when you watch/record TV but I find thats sufficient. Before I did this I was getting an awful lot of disconnects, I switched to 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 when I upgraded to myth 0.21, using v4l repo. Now they are fewer and if it does happen then it will recover as soon as the tuners are no longer in use because myth releases them. Eg live tv -> disconnect -> quite live tv -> go back, it works. dmesg shows that the card has been restarted. Beats a script to restart the backend (which I used to use) when it disconnects. Perhaps that information will make someone else's life less painful :) On an somewhat unrelated note, I was wondering about the firmware. Am I right in thinking this is closed-source (from Hauppauge)? Could this mess be caused by the firmware falling over -> device dies -> usb disconnect or other symptoms (like losing a tuner) depending on how the USB layer responds? Not that I have a clue.. Chris. PS I might have got passive/active muddle up, you want the setting that *doesn't* cause the card to be perpetually in use. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
