Hi Jason,

I have been successfully using VDR with two CinergyT2s for 18 months.
After adding a Hauppage NOVA-S2-HD I updated my v4l-dvb drivers hoping
to get S2 capability and test a newer VDR for HD reception.
The CinergyT2s stopped working. The kernel module loads, the blue leds
flash as expected but they don't lock on to a signal for long.
Signal strength shown in femon is erratic and a lock only rarely
achieved.
I checked through the mercurial tree to see what had changed.
It looks like the following change is the one that stops the CinergyT2s
working on my system.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/devel.git;a=commit;h=986bd1e58b18c09b753f797df19251804bfe3e84
I deleted the newer version of the module and replace it with the
previous deleted code.
Make'd and installed the old version works as expected.
Machine they're plugged into is running Fedora 10,
2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686
I downloaded the current v4l-dvb today (31Jan2009) and tried it all
again before posting this message.
Not sure where to look next, I did start to capture the USB traffic to
see if I could spot the difference...
Please take a look at the message logs (dmesg).
You can follow the instructions described here
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device
and report where it fails.
I use tzap like this: tzap -c $HOME/.tzap/channels.conf -s -t 120 -r
-o output.mpg "SomeChannel"
I am able to play with mplayer too.

Hi Thierry,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I should have looked in dmesg before...
Checking dmesg before I used tzap shows a problem. dvb-usb: recv bulk

I shut down the PC, removed all power, unplugged the CinergyT2s, gave it
twenty seconds and powered back up.
Once it had booted I plugged in one of the devices and the dmesg output
below.

Cannot tzap or scan.
With the old version of the driver I don't have any trouble at all.
I do have this bulk message error too, sometimes (this is a timeout on recv).
I can tune channels but I think I have a particular version of the CinergyT2 (there are several).
You can turn on the debug infos:
modprobe dvb-core dvbdev_debug=1 debug=1
modprobe dvb-usb-cinergyT2 debug=7
and see again dmesg...
Dmesg on plugging in the device as follows :-

Not much there really!
