Hello, i have setup a new gentoo system primarily for VDR. (The system information in the end). I am using a Nova 500T card. When I start vdr I get the message "vdr: [5088] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 13, tp 538" and "vdr: [5091] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 1, tp 474" in my log, and no tv-watching is possible. I started with vdr 1.6 and also tried vdr 1.4.7 with the exact same results. I have tried the kernel modules and also the "media-tv/v4l-dvb-hg" modules which are supposedly the "live development version of v4l&dvb-driver for Kernel 2.6" with no difference in behavior. Then I tried older Kernels, 2.6.24 and 2.6.23 which didn't make any difference. This card used to work in my old computer (which I turned off one week ago...) with the antenna at the same spot as it is now. I tried another antenna and checked if the cabels are connected correctly and that they are in perfect working order. My channels.conf contains stations from the next DVB-T tower and from another one, so it shouldn't be a network-problem. I have "dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1" in my kernel-2.6 autoloader file, so it shouldn't be the lna-weak-signal-problem, even though I don't know how to check if that module realy is startet with that option. I used the firmware file "dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw" since this solved these disconnect problems for good the last time I had problems with this card. So maybe there is something in my new computer which influences the reception physically, or maybe it's an ACPI-Problem (my new mainboard used to have a bad ACPI-Table, but I updated the bios and that made all the warnings dissapear)? Disableing ACPI at boot time doesn't make a difference. But hopefully you have got a (simple :-) ) solution to this problem. Best regards Mirko Ebbers PS: feel free to ask, if you need different information. lsmod________________________________________________ Module Size Used by dvb_usb_dib0700 36808 0 dib7000p 15624 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dib7000m 14532 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dvb_usb 16588 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 dvb_core 74420 1 dvb_usb dib3000mc 12232 3 dvb_usb_dib0700 dibx000_common 3780 3 dib7000p,dib7000m,dib3000mc dib0070 7492 1 dvb_usb_dib0700 i2c_core 20128 7 dvb_usb_dib0700,dib7000p,dib7000m,dvb_usb,dib3000mc,dibx000_common,dib0070 emerge --info_________________________________________________________________________________ Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz Timestamp of tree: Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/voip" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow acl acpi amd64 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups dbd dri dvb exif fortran gdbm gimp gpm hal iconv ieee1394 imap ipv6 isdnlog jabber lzo maildir midi mmx mudflap multilib ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl tcpd unicode usb v4l v4l2 vhosts vnc xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" DVB_CARDS="dibusb-usb2 usb-dib0700" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint i810 mach64 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
