Sure, it happens when X starts. But it could also be bad timing. The
MythTV backend, the app that really uses the DVB stuff, starts right
before X.


I have asked for debug info from the dib0700 module.

Aug 22 18:05:23 favia kernel: [   33.238864] dib0700: loaded with support for 7 different device-types

Aug 22 18:05:23 favia kernel: [   33.239012] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T' in cold state, will try to load a firmware

And then nothing with 1.20 fw.

What is interesting, is that at each self-reboot, that are warm reboots,
the card is in cold state and needs a firmware. So can I conclude that
it never got loaded? Or that the self reboot is a cold reboot?


I have tried to boot without a firmware file, and it goes all the way to
MythTV without reboot.
