Please can someone help...
I have been trying to get my nova-td-500 to work, but no matter what I
try I get a substandard signal, with lots of errors.
This is about the same as described elsewhere on this list.
I tried this code (posted by Patrick Boettcher below), hoping it may be
a little better but, so far, it has not improved things at all.
I have even replaced the antenna on my roof, in the hope of getting a
better signal, but I still get errors.
I have tried the top, the bottom and both antenna connectors, but it
does not seem to make much difference.
Is there anything else I could try?  I really want a working system
again. (I replaced an old buggy card with this one, not knowing it would
be such a problem)

I'll post a request for testing soon.
I am looking forward to it.
Can you please try the drivers from here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/

In the best case they improve the situation for you. In the worst case (not wanted :) ) it will degrade.

Have you tried adding:

dvb_usb_dib0700.force_lna_activation=1

to the modprobe options?

The device I had wouldn't tune without this.

I should have mentioned that I have tried this and buggy sfn workaround for the relavent modules.


Cheers,

Lou
