This thread is mainly about problems with concurrent access to a ci/cam attached to a budget card. And since you are using dvb-t which afaik is always fta, you are experiencing a totally different problem. Besides my machine never locked up, the cam just stopped decrypting. Otherwise it would really have been quite strange to explain. :-) Have you run some tests on the machine like a memtest and/or processor test? Faulty memory can causes all sorts of strange problems. If you still suspect the dvb subsystem, compile a kernel without it, test and stress it. If it works reliably for a longer period of time, you've possibly narrowed the list of suspects down. But I bet it's more like a hardware problem... sorry. So long, matthias. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
