Hello Jason,

Step 1:  Please update to the latest version of the v4l-dvb code.  I
don't want to be in a situation where I am debugging old code, and
this will make it easier to send you patches to get more debugging
info.

Step 2:  Please use pastebin to include the full dmesg output.  Users
often send what they believe is relevant, and this often does not
include critical information.  This also allows me to get some context
as to what else is going on in the system.

Step 3: Please try using the "scan" tool as opposed to the "dvbscan"
tool.  I know that scan works as expected and want to rule out some
sort of application issue.  Also be sure to provide the exact command
line that you ran.

Are you trying to scan for digital channels over the air, or are you
trying to scan for digital cable?  And do you know that you can
actually receive channels in your location (have you tried it with the
same antenna in the same location under Windows?)

In older versions of the code, the firmware gets loaded on the first
use, as opposed to when the driver gets started up (this behavior
changed on Mar 18th).  Also bear in mind that it takes ten to twelve
seconds to load the firmware (this is a known issue with the i2c bus
that I am actively debugging).

Devin
