[linux-dvb] Re: Driver bug or transponder 104 broken ?

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

As far as i can tell, when i had this problem it alway appeared first on the
channels you mentioned and after some switching it killed the drivers
(firmware ?) - and a clean reboot finally brought back functionality (at
least in most cases)!

Unfortunately i have the same problem to find the cause - but with one or
two of this problems it was definitively not on my side, because in both
cases someone on the list mentioned the same problem at the sime time !

So, maybe we should mail each other if the problem appears... And then we
can tell...
Have a look at this and compare to yours:

Maybe this could help you to find out, if you had your prblems at the same
time...

Unfortunately the same error message appears if you switch channels too fast
:-(

So it might not 100% reliable ...
