Hi, with Debian kernel 3.2 I had the rare problem that dvb on my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 was not always initialized properly on boot. After an upgrade to Debian kernel 3.8 and then for testing reasons to vanilla 3.9.4 I can reproduce this problem on every boot. This is from my dmesg output for vanilla 3.9.4 with debug for the cx88* modules enabled: [ 6.329655] hda_intel: Disabling MSI [ 6.329773] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:07.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 6.811772] cx88/2: cx2388x MPEG-TS Driver Manager version 0.0.9 loaded [ 6.814199] cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9601, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 DVB-T/Hybrid MPEG Encoder [card=56,autodetected], frontend(s): 1 [ 6.814273] cx88[0]: TV tuner type 63, Radio tuner type -1 [ 6.833393] cx88/0: cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.9 loaded [ 6.934169] cx88[0]: i2c init: enabling analog demod on HVR1300/3000/4000 tuner [ 6.999507] tda9887 2-0043: creating new instance [ 6.999570] tda9887 2-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found [ 7.000465] tuner 2-0043: Tuner 74 found with type(s) Radio TV.
