[Sorry for sending non wrapped lines here from system output, but that's the only way I know to present this kind of information in a sensible way] Hi, I'm suffering from a strange problem here. In one of my systems, I've used a Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S card successfully, but after a system upgrade to openSUSE 12.2, it cannot tune in all but one channel. While I like this one left very much (arte), it would be really nice to be able to tune in others as well.

EPG data seems to arrive properly. On other systems, I'm using a slightly different card: a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000(Lite) DVB-S/S2, and the most obvious difference is, that this card loads a firmware, while this NOVA-S-Plus does not: Mar 1 16:40:13 tyrex kernel: [ 46.493929] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-cx24116.fw)...
