Hi,

I'm not sure if this has been already reported, but I was playing around
with Nanostick 290e today and I encountered some weird behavior with the
DVB-C frontend.

The DVB-C frontend only seems to work once after plugging in the device.
During subsequent uses, it fails to lock on to signal. However, you can
unplug the Nanostick, plug it back in, and it is able to lock on again. But
only once -- then you have to replug it again.

The exact actions that I took:

1. Plug in the Nanostick.
2. Run dvbstream to record a DVB-C stream -- works OK.
3. Run dvbstream to record a DVB-C stream again -- fail to lock on signal.
4. Unplug the Nanostick. Plug it back in.
5. Run dvbstream to record a DVB-C stream -- works OK.
6. Run dvbstream to record a DVB-C stream again -- fail to lock on signal.

I'm using kernel 3.2.0 on Ubuntu x86. The DVB-T/T2 frontend doesn't display
this behavior.

If anyone's interested in debugging this, I'll be happy to provide more
information.

Could you test first quite latest Kernel, 3.7 or even 3.8. If 3.7 behaves similarly, then test older Kernel 3.0.

Working only on first tuning attempt sounds like it should not be common problem - otherwise there should be million bug reports like that.

Antti
