[linux-dvb] strange drop outs ?

[Martin Hoffmann <ma.hoff@t-online.de>]

Hi people,

i'm using suse 7.2, kernel 2.4.4 with vdr 0.83.
In the last few days i'm expierencing the following problem: While recording the picture and audio scrambles (mpeg blocks) and flickers for several seconds and then is only black and no audio.
/var/log/messages says something about no video and vdr does it's emergency routines (unload and reload the drivers) 
After fresh loading the drivers (by vdr) the n-tv channel is up and running - then vdr tries to switch to the last tuned channel (e.g. pro7) and again just black (/var/log/messages says channel 7 not synced) - and the whole procedure again and again and again...
Even rebooting the system didn't help !
And then after several minutes all problems are gone ...

However it seems that the problem appears more often lately :-(

Any idea what could cause this ?

I can't think of any hardware problems with the card or the lnb causing this - or ?!
But on the other hand drivers are completely new loaded - at least after reboot - so ... ?

Can anyone help ?

Martin.

btw: I'm using the Hauppauge WinTV rev. 1.3
