Same to me (but 2xFF 2.1 + 1x Nova-s). I ended with putting out the budget card and run the system with 2xFF cards only. My observation was that if the PC was just booted the budget card worked (NVRAM-Wakeup) but when there are several recordings going on and the budget was used later (e.g. uptime 1h) vdr reported no lock. I tried several kernels and different cvs versions of the dvb-drivers and different firmwares but no go. >> From looking at dmesg I can tell the cards' IRQ assignments have >> changed, > but still each card uses its own one. > Also, they still share their IRQs with the very same other PCI > devices. > szap seems to be able to tune, though, as it reports FE_HAS_LOCK on > all 4 cards when tuning to "Das Erste". > > Any hints on how to debug this further? Might be a powerconsumption problem, are you sure the power supply is strong enough to serve all your cards ? > Thanks, > Stephan /hgm.bg
