[linux-dvb] __av7110_send_fw_cmd(): timeout waiting for COMMAND idle

["Andre Neumann" <chef@andre-neumann.de>]

Hi,

i dont knwo if that has been discussed before, but sinde im using new
drivers for my 4 DVB Cards (2x Siemens DVB-C and 2 TT DVB-T Budget)
under kernel 2.6 i have a _LOT_ of problems with my setup.

Using VDR works only like 5 minutes. After that i get the following log
entries:

It makes no difference if im watching DVD or TV, this _DAMN_ error
happens all the time. Only reloaing the driver makes it work again.

I read at vdrportal.de that many other users have such problems, but
there seems to be no solution. I'm wondering if someone from the
developers has such problems.

My Setup:

Kernel 2.6.10rc1, v4l-kernel-patch, newest CVS DVB Driver (with the fix
from Oliver for the ARD/RTL PID Bug)
