My issue was that the only PCIe 1X slot shared an IRQ with the onboard Sound card and that caused all kinds of problems. Also I had to power off my machine if I ever had problems with the DVB cards. They would not function properly after a warm reboot. Good luck with the issues, my system is not entirely stable as well.

The driver crashes about 50% already immediately after booting, but also some time afterwards, working properly until then.

The software I use is Ubuntu Lucid (Kernel 2.6.32-25-generic) coming with the VDR distribution yavdr 0.3. The firmware for the card is from packet "linux-firmware-yavdr" Version: 1.1-3yavdr1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 2010-07-18 21:54 dvb-fe-ds3000.fw I get the same problems using the original kernel module from 2.6.32 or the DKMS modules from v4l-dvb-dkms (0~20101018.15139) or s2-liplianin-dkms (0~20101016.14629). I think I have a hardware problem and I just have to know wether it can be fixed with maybe BIOS settings or if I have to get a different DVB-S2 card. What is the reason for a "mpeg risc op code error" ? Thanks in advance !! TeVii S470: 02:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc.
