Hi Hermann, > Hopefully it does help in that other case. I have it working now. I had to add a delay of 120 seconds in the mythtv backend script to allow the driver enough time to scan both cards and install the firmware properly. Previously the mythtv backend at startup was trying to talk to the cards before the firmware was loaded and so they'd fail to work. It's not a big hassle but it would seem in spite of a test in the startup script to ensure udev configuration was complete before mythbackend was loaded it would seem that udev device configuration was completing before the firmware was loaded. Is there the possibility of adding some feature into the driver to make sure it fails on opening if the firmware isn't properly loaded? Another general question, does V4L sequentially initialise hardware or does it run in parallel? It would seem to be a good time saver to have all DVB cards initialised in parallel to speed up booting of a system. I have reverted back to Mythbuntu 10.04 and kernel 2.6.32 and the cards work fine now (though with the latest v29 of the firmware for these cards).
