Hi greg k-h,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tested older kernels (4.12> and 4.9 LTS) but unfortunately the
device is still unable to scan any channels.
It also has difficulties with getting a stable connection when using a
static/preloaded frequency/channel instead.
It's a bit strange, but I believe it worked on kernels before <4.9 but
KP were more frequently, so I'm happy with the changes made.

Yesterday I have tried the media_build of CrazyCat
(https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/media_build.git) on top of Linux 4.12
and this works fine.
I'm not aware of the cause, but running a diff on
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c
(https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media/blob/latest/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c)
it seems the following lines may be missing:
memset(&si2168_config, 0, sizeof(si2168_config));
memset(&si2157_config, 0, sizeof(si2157_config));

If more debug info is useful and may help finding the cause, I'm happy
to provide.

Thanks again for looking at the issue.
