Mikko,

Yes - it's a relatively new feature in the driver.  From what I remember 
from previous posts on this subject, you have two options:

1) Disable the timeout when you load the modules (I don't know the exact 
option).

2) Delete the "close(fd_frontend)" lines from dvbstream.c so that the 
frontend device isn't closed immediately after tuning.

I would be very happy to accept a patch against the current dvbstream 
CVS that does this properly.

Dave.
