I have a Tevii S660 (a usb dvb-s2 device) which is causing a problem. After the S660 is attached to a USB 2 socket, the firmware is d/l and everything looks fine but then there are continual RC (check/debug?) messages every 150 ms, then some time later everything goes pear shaped:

Tevii say the h/w is ok as it works with a Windows box with their myTevii application. It does work while the RC messages are occurring, I can watch and record SD+HD content in mythtv until the crash. I have tried the latest tevii beta s/w (v4l and .fw files) and also the v4l-dvb drivers from linuxtv dated 6 april - the same result each time. I can see in the dw2102.c where 150ms is defined and this seems the same as other devices in the code. Google indicates others have seen similar problems but it's not clear what the solution is. Three questions: 1) are the RC messages caused by a h/w or s/w issue? 2) if it's s/w what do I need to do? 3) is the subsequent khubd crash related and how do I fix that? I have a nova dvb-t usb box connected and that works fine - I assume there's no interaction.
